Feminism is a political movement that appeared with the aim of causing an end to the
system in which man dominates over woman
...
This dimension of
this movement is what is discussed in this article
...

Since the beginning, feminism had set the goal of giving women a position in life’s map
which is dominated with men, so that both sexes are put on an equal footing
...
This includes Simon Beauvoir
who had offered the book ‘The Second Sex’ which was the founding gospel of feminism in
its literary dimension
...
The book shows the desire of geting ‘something’
for one (woman) own through giving her a ‘place’ in the world
...


These prominent theorists who put the pillars of the memevement belong to the first wave
of the feminist movement, Virginia Woolf in 1929 and Simon Beauvoire in 1949
...

...
The movement, then, seemed to overgo the
complex created by man’s domination
...
In this level of the feminist theory devolpement, not only the material
disadvantage which was examined but also the sexual differences and woman’s experience
...
This latter

shouldn’t imitate men

...
There existed another kind
of language (ecriture feminine, different way with a big title “be yourself”
...
Instead of the
previous theories, this wave established for a women’s uniqueness of experience in their
writing in term of content as in the second wave’s first theory; Anglo-American theory
while the form was in the style of the second wave’s second sub-theory; French feminism
...
Thus, it challenged
the desire of power structure of a contemporary society wave after wave
