new french feminism and motherhood  

Definition

  • New French Feminism refers to a movement that emerged during and after the student revolt of 1968, in distinction to the older feminism represented by individuals such as Simone de Beauvoir. New French Feminism is heavily influenced by psychoanalysis, poststructuralist thought, and Marxism, and many theorists within it question the emphasis place by the earlier feminist movement on social equality.
