The division between the public and private spheres has long been a central theme in discussions of gender and power. Historically, the public sphere—comprising politics, employment, education, and other institutional structures—has been associated with masculinity and power, while the private sphere—comprising family, home, and personal relationships—has been feminized, considered apolitical, and often ignored in the discourse on power dynamics. However, contemporary gender studies and lived realities increasingly demonstrate that the boundaries between these spheres are neither rigid nor impermeable; they are negotiable, shaped and reshaped by socio-political developments, cultural practices, and individual and collective acts of resistance and assertion. The idea that the private sphere is insulated from politics is a myth. Feminist thinkers such as Carol Pateman and Nancy Fraser have argued that the very act of relegating women to the private sphere is a political move. The notion of “the personal is political,” popularized by second-wave feminists, asserts that personal experiences—particularly of women—are deeply embedded in and reflective of broader power structures. Issues like domestic violence, unpaid care work, marital rape, and reproductive rights are often treated as private matters, yet they are manifestations of public power relations and systemic inequalities. The boundaries between public and private spheres are also challenged through state policies and legal interventions.
