I'm researching about this play by William Shakespeare on my essay, but when I research online, I can't really find much information.

The Taming of the Shrew has been the subject of much criticism. In particular, feminists have attacked the play, and in particular the play's final scene, as offensively misogynistic. Others have defended the play by highlighting the (frequently omitted) induction as evidence that the play is not meant to be taken at face value and the fact that Petruchio submits himself to the same treatment to which he submits Kate. One recent production by the American Players' Theater used part of the induction and an added ending to avoid the controversy surrounding the play; in their version, the entire play is actually Sly's dream that he is Petruchio, a dream from which he is awakened by his shrewish, real-life wife.

Well the conclusion of the story is practically petruchio actually did tame Kate, the most hard headed woman in the "whole world", Kate went to the other wives, at the end of the story, and made them appreciate that they had fine husbands and that they were supposed to act in a good manner to them and not treat them with dishonor.
