description The study of women and society is an interdisciplinary field that investigates the intricate interplay between gender, societal structures, and cultural norms that shape women's experiences within communities. This field recognizes that gender is not a fixed biological concept but a social construct that permeates all facets of life. It acknowledges the diverse experiences of women and the intersections with other identities. The primary objective of this field is to foster social justice and equality by advocating for policies and practices that advance gender equality and empower women. The subject of women and society encompasses a broad range of topics, including the portrayal of female characters in literature, the practice of female genital mutilation, and the influence of government support agencies on women's entrepreneurship. It serves as a valuable resource for students, scholars, and researchers across various academic disciplines, providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricate ways in which gender impacts individuals and society as a whole. This understanding is achieved through an interdisciplinary approach that draws on insights from sociology, anthropology, psychology, literature, and other relevant fields. This study aims to emphasize the significance of research in the field of women and society. The paper adopts a desktop research method, utilizing existing knowledge and literature to develop an understanding of the subject. By exploring the multifaceted dimensions of women's experiences, the study highlights the need to address gender disparities, challenge societal norms, and promote inclusive policies that foster gender equality and women's empowerment. It underscores the importance of incorporating a gendered lens in all aspects of social analysis and decision-making processes, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and just society.
