BRIEF EXPLANATION THE ROLE OF HARRIET MARTINEAU IN SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES.

Harriet Martineau (12 June 1802 - 27 June 1876) was an English social theorist and Whig writer, often cited as the first female sociologist. Although today Martineau is rarely mentioned, she was critical to the early growth of the sociological discipline. Martineau wrote 35 books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and, perhaps most significantly, feminine perspective. She earned enough to be supported entirely by her writing, a challenging feat for a woman in the Victorian era. As a theorist, she believed that a thorough societal analysis was necessary to understand the status of women. She is notable for her progressive politics. Martineau introduced feminist sociological perspectives in her writing and addressed overlooked issues such as marriage, children, domestic life, religious life, and race relations.

The writings of Harriet Martineau could be viewed as crucial to the rise of women in the Victorian public sphere. Martineau's ability to travel to the United States as well as the Middle-East gave her writings a sense of power and authority with the British public. As Martineau's work rose to prominence, the place of women in the slavery debate changed as well. Women no longer worked only as behind-the-scenes activists, but also formed their own Anti-Slavery societies and published pamphlets and periodicals. Harriet Martineau is considered as a radical in Victorian society, although she worked within the confines of roles acceptable for women of Britain. She was a woman who traveled with the intent to understand a society different from her own and chose to take a public stand on an institution she deemed an abomination. Through her earlier writings, which are rarely discussed by scholars, one can understand the beliefs she held and published throughout her life. 

HOW HARRIET MARTINEAU TOOK STAND FOR FEMINISM AND HOW IT RELATES WITH "ME TOO MOVEMENT".

The #MeToo Movement was founded in 2006. Initially, Tarana Burke, a social activist, created a "MeToo MySpace page to encourage and support black females and girls of color in poor communities who had survived sexual violence. Ten years later, in 2017, the word "MeToo" became the slogan against sexual harassment in Hollywood. The movement swept over America and the world. With the development of the #MeToo Movement, the advocacy expanded to broader groups, including individuals from the LGBTQ community and the disabled. Meanwhile, the movement tried to restructure global conversations related to sexual violence to help more people and expand its influence. Just like Harriet Martineau, Me Too Movement took a stand through a social movement that spreads not just around the US but all around the world. Many people supported this movement against sexual violence and sexual assault that advocates for females who survived sexual violence to speak out about their experience. The movement hopes that, if people are more aware of sexual harassment and how casually it is sometimes treated, then tolerance for it will decrease and support for victims will rise.
