Abstract

In the recent past years, the underrepresentation of women in academic philosophy and in daily life and almost around the whole world has been expressed as a great concern. If we are to focus our attention on this troubling phenomenon, we will come to know that there are a lot of factors (which vary from region to region and people to people) that have a notable contribution to the gender disparity. A full explanation of this troubling phenomenon is likely to be quite complex since there are, almost certainly, many factors that contribute to the gender disparity. Our most basics goals in this paper are to discuss feminism, and to compare the facts stated by the feminist theorists and the biological determinists and to reach a result on the basis of these arguments.
