Defining Feminism through the Lenses of Some Ghanaian Feminists

Abstract

The definition of feminism and what it means to a group of people, region, country, etc. has been controversial over the years. In Africa, the bid to clearly define the struggles of African women has led to differences in the definition of the term. The controversy in definition and concepts, especially amongst Ghanaian Feminists, is the inspiration for this thesis. This study is collated on the premise that feminist objectives differ in terms of culture, country, etc. and the main aim of this study is to define feminism through the lenses of some Ghanaian feminists.
