BusinessWorld

Abstract
The “personal is political” is a feminist adage coined by Carol Hanisch in 1968 that challenged the public-private divide and conveyed the message that women’s everyday lives have political dimensions. Gender power relations, as embedded in wider social and political structures, are experienced by women in every aspect of their lives, in every space they move in, with every person they engage with. The slogan purposively reflects women’s emancipatory politics where individual agency, aggregated in collective movements, seek to disrupt discourses and practices that negatively affect women.
