Woman as Other

"Woman as Other" is a concept from philosophy and gender studies that describes how women have historically been viewed as different from, and often subordinate to, men. It highlights how society tends to define women in relation to men—often as the 'other'—which can lead to limited roles, expectations, and recognition for women’s individuality and agency. This idea encourages examining societal structures that reinforce gender differences and aims to foster equality by acknowledging women’s unique identities while resisting the tendency to marginalize or stereotypically categorize them.
