feminist theories of power
Definition
- Feminists have developed critiques of conceptualizations of power that naturalize socially created systems of privilege and domination and fail to encompass the experiences of women. Feminists have theorized the nature and operation of gender power, which constrains the way women and men of particular races and ethnicities occupy and move in space, inhabit their bodies, envision their possibilities, and manifest their intentions.
