Exploring the Roots of Gynecology, Feminism, Autonomy, and Egoism

This lesson delves into key terms derived from Greek and Latin roots that shape our understanding of gender, power, and self. We explore "gynecology," the branch of medicine dealing with the female reproductive system; "feminism," which advocates for women's rights; and the concepts of "autocrat," denoting total power, as well as "autonomy," symbolizing independence. Additionally, we examine "egoism," reflecting self-interest and self-love. Each term is defined and contextualized with example sentences to enhance comprehension.
