Discuss gender as a source of identity.

What will be an ideal response?

Cannadine dismissed gender as a major source of group identity as he contends it is difficult to substantiate that there is a unifying identity solidarity among all women.

Discrimination against women is any distinction, exclusion, or restriction made on the basis of sex that has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil, or any other field.
