Gender and Power By: Malou Restauro

GENDER - Refers to the different ways men and women play in society and to the relative power they wield.

While gender is expressed differently in different societies, in no society do men and women perform equal roles or hold equal positions of power

POWER - A basic fabric of society and is possessed in varying degrees by social actors in diverse social categories. Power becomes abusive and exploitative only when independence and individuality of one person becomes so dominant that freedom for the other is compromised

According to Max Weber “Essays in Sociology” Power is the likelihood a person may achieve personal ends despite possible resistance from others.

Factors act as Determinants Status resources Experience Self- confidence
