Abstract
Gender inequality remains a significant issue for social justice activists across the globe. It affects people of all ages at home, in school, and in the workplace—in micro-level interactions and through macro-level social structures. The purpose of this chapter is to familiarize readers with the terms and concepts necessary to understand the causes and consequences of gender inequality. The chapter begins by outlining key terms related to gender equality and inequality. It then goes on to provide a historical and theoretical overview of the main frameworks utilized by feminist scholars and activists in the struggle for equal rights before offering suggestions for the utility of a feminist lens in any social justice toolbox.
