Feminism is one of the strongest movements that has emerged in the twentieth century. Probably it is one of the few movements that has affected the li8ves of human beings all over the world. While all other movements were concentrated in small geographical areas, it is one movement that has made its presence felt everywhere. It is very clear that the feminists have utilised the theories proposed by males to make their points clear: Freud's psychoanalysis, Marx's Marxism and Derrida's deconstruction to name a few, there have been males who have contributed to the development and growth of feminism. The current paper is an attempt to throw a light on the works of three males who made immense contributions to the theory of feminism in its inception.
