feminism as a movement as well as a theory. The work navigates through the phases, strands,
tenets and principles of feminism. It dissects the French feminist movement and delineates its
approach and primary concern. Using the qualitative method, the research finds out that French
feminist movement is quite different from the other feminisms because of its Lacanian
psychoanalytic approach and concern with the symbolic aspect of language.
