Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Biological subjugation of womenSubjugation of women to domestic service
Subjugation of women to child-rearing
Dominated women's behaviour
Nature:
The traditionally inferior position of women in relation to political, social and artistic dimensions of society derives from the "biological tragedy" of women, namely the requirement that they bear and rear children. As such the woman has little opportunity for other than domestic chores (cleaning, cooking, laundry, etc). This tragedy is a function not only of the woman's sex but of the social structure.
