The concept of gender was first developed by Iill Matthews in 1984 in her study of the construction of femininity.
According to Mathews, the concept of gender gives recognition to the fact that every known society distinguishes between women and men.
Therefore the term / concept of gender is a systematic way of understanding men and women socially and the patterning of relationships between them.
Gender refers to the attitudes, feelings and behaviors that a given culture associates with a person's biological sex.
The concept of gender helps to study the differences in behaviour between men and women and to analyse the basis of these differences as basically biological or as social constructions by the society.
It refers to the social attributes, roles and responsibilities, associated with being male & female and the relationships between women & men (girls & boys).
“the gender question is not just about women but about both women and men and how they interact”
