In a lucid style, the learned professor who heads the gender studies department at Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, explained six phases of feminism, from liberal feminism to the echo-feminism in present times. It started in the first quarter of the 19th century when women started talking about their basic human rights. Now when their equal status has been recognized universally and no where discriminatory laws against women can be enacted, women’s special role need to be recognized as the family unit is based on them.
