“…Enabling women with different backgrounds to share stories about their experience working in cultural organizations and developing their professional paths may inadvertently promote side effects such as perpetuating stereotypes about professional women. However, amplifying women's voices about both positive and negative experiences is consistent with Tong's view (1989) that feminist resistance can emerge from challenging the status quo. Moreover, the desired outcome of doing so “can potentially remove the glass ceiling” in organizations (Reuther & Fairhurst, 2000, p. 248).…”

The aim of this article is to explore the rhizomatic nature of the professional development strategies used by the female workforce of public cultural organizations. The research problem of this study are (1) the challenges of women who work in public cultural organizations and (2) ways of dealing with them by women. The empirical material was collected between January 2021 and January 2022 through 20 in‐depth interviews with female managers of public cultural organizations in Poland. The findings are presented in three sections: (1) specificity of work in culture, (2) twists and configurations on the way to grow, and (3) communities. In this way, it was possible to capture the specific strategies used by the female workforce for the development of their professional paths. To illustrate the complexity of these strategies, the concept of Rhizome—a root structure that grows in unpredictable and manifold directions—developed by Deleuze and Guattari was used. It also highlighted the fact that the professional development strategies used by women develop in a strong relationship with their environment and constantly evolve according to the needs of the women who decide to undertake them. The results of the research illustrate the impact of the far‐reaching gendered nature of work in cultural organizations on the professional development of women in this sector. Moreover, this reveals that to achieve their professional ambitions, women in cultural organizations co‐create complex informal organizational constructs, rhizome‐like in structure, which help women cope with the challenges that arise along their professional paths. These findings contribute to the theory of gendered organizations and the knowledge of gender inequality in cultural organizations.

“…The paradigm shift illustrated in the slogan "The personal is political" that emphasized the influence of patriarchy and sexism on all aspects of private lives of women (Munro, 2013). The feminists during second wave addressed the concerns included domestic and sexual violence, sexual objectification of women reproductive rights, equal work opportunities, paid maternity leave, sufficient childcare services (Tong, 2009). Another characteristic of second wave of feminism was its organization where a group of women organized meetings regularly to debate their involvements and experiences, that termed as "consciousness rising' (Walters, 2005).…”

Feminism is a movement in which people struggle for the rights of women and their better prominence in all domains of life. Women got recognition through waves of feminism around the world in respect of their rights and status.

Therefore, the present research main objective is based on the prospects analysis of NGOs in perspective of feminist struggle in Pakistan. This is an e-research based on an analysis of web archives of NGOs working in Pakistan on women concerns. This also involved in-depth interviews with stake holders of these NGOs. Mix method research design was applied to analyze the prospects of 144 registered NGOs from a feminist perspective. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to select samples for quantitative and qualitative data. The research findings showed that NGOs in Pakistan are struggling to accomplish feminism that contributing a great effort to raise the status of women in every field of life.

“…To complement the gender blind spot of Marxism [1] , socialist feminism takes the path of radical feminism, which argues that gender differences constitute the substance of social life and that women are created, not born. "Gender is not only the way in which female sociality is gendered from male sociality; they also see gender as the way in which women are subordinated to men.…”

“…It is only then that it is possible to lay the foundations of background equality for women's full participation in all public spheres. Dara Koester and James [15] focus on the unequal treatment of women in the public and private spheres, arguing that domestic labour is as productive as labour in the public sphere, where women are subject to capitalist exploitation of surplus value, and labour in the private sphere is considered valueless and unrecognised. The way to achieve gender equality was through the payment of wages for domestic work, which was paid by the state.…”

Difference-based feminism has not abandoned the pursuit of equality, and the essential differences between the sexes make it imperative that gender differences are respected. Socialist feminism sees the positive value of women's differences, advocates the elimination of gender inequality from the perspective of reconstructing women's identities, and emphasizes the importance of gender theory for women's emancipation. As for the causes of gender inequality, socialist feminism is aware of the double oppression of women in the public and private spheres, and points to the path to equality at this stage, with women's full access to the labour market, the transformation of the private sphere into the public sphere, and the elimination of gender differences in the responsibilities, duties and identities of the sexes in different spheres. Finally, the socialist feminist future of equality is ideal and achievable, and the attainment of socialist equality of opportunity will ultimately lead to the complete emancipation of women in a communist society.
