Salam sir, great to see you back, I want to ask one thing. I attempted this essay and my explanation was sort-of similar to yours. In introduction, I didn't make a separate sub-heading for thesis statement and instead just gave a sub-heading with statement that feminism is an important third world issue. Is it ok? Or would I be in trouble for not mentioning that the statement is thesis statement?
