The fact that in many places in the world women have had to fight for the right to inherit provides evidence for which theoretical perspective on gender?

A) Functionalism
B) Conflict theory
C) Symbolic interactionism
D) Post-structuralism

Conflict theory posits that society is characterized by competition and conflict over limited resources, particularly economic resources. This perspective would argue that women have had to fight for the right to inherit because of a longstanding patriarchal system that favors men and perpetuates gender inequality. The fact that women were denied the right to inherit demonstrates how power and resources are unequally distributed in society based on gender.
