| Description: | "While feminist theorists have generally highlighted the universality of this dimension of women's situation, it is also necessary to historicise and contextualize this generalization. Patriarchal oppression intermeshes with various social formations in diverse ways in different historical situations and it is this that imparts a specific character and a social groundedness to the concrete historical articulation of patriarchy. For, understanding of this specific and concrete manifestation is necessary in order to work out strategies for dealing with this, since the levers of change are provided by this." |
