Feminist theory has developed and evolved over the years in an attempt to describe the experiences and challenges that women experience in society as well as providing mechanisms that will place women on a competitive level with their male counterparts. Nevertheless, different women experience different challenges in their specific environments. For instance, African American or Black women have gone through numerous challenges in trying to raise their status in the community.
