Christine Delphy

Christine Delphy is a French sociologist and feminist thinker known for her work on gender inequality. She developed the theory of structural feminism, which examines how societal institutions and economic systems perpetuate women's subordination. Delphy emphasizes that gender roles are socially constructed and maintained through family, work, and cultural norms, rather than being natural or biological. Her ideas encourage analyzing and challenging these embedded systems to promote gender equality. Overall, she contributes to understanding how social structures collectively shape gender relations and advocate for systemic change.
