In an article published by the Gender Team of the United Nations Development Program, which interviewed women and men in 75 countries around the world, it is claimed that 91 percent of men and 86 percent of women hold at least one bias against women and their equality with men. This article demonstrates the place of women and their condition in the second decade of the 21st century.This study claims that Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey presents the issue of women’s role in the social hierarchy of patriarchal societies. It argues that both men and women consider women as lower-level humans than men in their societies. It studies Delaney’s play from the perspective of Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) in social psychology, with the engagement of feminist theory, as it discusses the issues of women in the play. The study shows that it is not only men who place women lower than themselves but also women themselves play a great role in indicating their position in the hierarchy of their societies. They also accept and endorse the doctrines and notions that are applied to them in patriarchal societies such as subordination, submissiveness, and subjugation.Through this methodology, the study presents a new and different investigation of Delaney’s play in the light of SDO and feminism. In turn, it might help one avoid the act of placing women unequal to men in the social hierarchy.
