The western theory of equality between men and women is a part of modern human rights thought, which sprouted in the Renaissance. In the 17th century, the French philosopher plain de Rabat's On Gender Equality clearly put forward the idea of "gender equality". 179 1 year, a French woman leader, Abilene de Courier, published the Declaration of Women's Rights against the Declaration of Human Rights, which marked the emergence of feminist thought. 1792, Mary Wall Si Tong Kraft of Britain wrote an article "Debate on Women's Rights", which linked the equal rights of men and women with the progress of human civilization and raised the feminist thought to a new height. Later, the French thinker condorcet systematized and matured it with the theory of equal rights between men and women. In the19th century, utopian socialists, anarchists and liberal bourgeois intellectuals in Europe constantly enriched and developed the idea of equal rights between men and women, and finally formed feminist theory, which became the weapon of women's liberation movement. It should be pointed out that the formation process of western feminist theory is not limited to the scope of theoretical discussion, but its germination, emergence, development and final formation are also accompanied by the women's liberation movement. Therefore, in the actual struggle, the western women's movement began earlier than its formal formation. /kloc-shortly after the success of the British bourgeois revolution in the 0/7th century, the feminist movement began. The slogan of "freedom, equality and fraternity" put forward by the bourgeoisie made western women more intolerable to the gender differences in reality, and began to strive for the same political and legal status as men in various ways, such as the right to education, property rights, employment rights and divorce rights. At the same time, it also severely criticized the traditional male chauvinism, thus shaking the foundation of patriarchy. At the same time, social and economic changes have also made a large number of women gradually go out of the family and enter the public sphere that has always been monopolized by men. By participating in the public life of the whole country, they have broadened their horizons and demonstrated their abilities no less than those of men. On this basis, they made a scientific exploration and reflection on the value of women and their own natural potential, thus discovering the natural potential of women who have been suppressed for many years. They don't have to be attached to men because they are born inferior. They realize that they can make full use of their gender advantages and realize their life value from their own potential, not from the scale of men.

The western women's movement was originally for proletarian women to fight for the right to participate in social labor in order to obtain economic income for survival. Due to the wide application of high technology in the development of capitalism, the production level has reached an unprecedented height. The application of high technology simplifies the work, objectively provides social conditions for women to leave home, go to society and return to public labor, and also makes it possible for women to realize this requirement. In order to get high profits, capitalists do employ a large number of women.
