Document Summary
Defined as a wide ranging system of ideas about social life and human experience developed from a women centred perspective. Women centred because it focuses on the situations and experiences of women, but feminist theory is also considered to be women centred because it tries to describe the social world from the standpoint of women. This notion of standpoint becomes an important aspect of feminist thought. Existed from the 1830s up to the 1920s, this first phase of feminism overlapped with the beginnings of sociology, for instance it was in. 1830 that augusta comte coined the term sociology, and it was in. The ideas that have come to dominate and shape sociology were developed by marx, durkheim and weber, three white european men. While they were developing these ideas, which are very important, playing a huge role in shaping discipline, the early feminist were doing their work.
