feminist perspectives on relationships
Definition
- Feminist perspectives on relationships are found not in a singular theory but, rather, in a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives that value women's lives and experiences and seek to understand how gender is systematically constructed and performed in ways that naturalize social inequities and difference. This entry discusses common themes of feminist perspectives on relationships: gender as a social construction, intersectionality, power dynamics (both interpersonal and structural), historic and sociocultural contexts, rejection of unitary and uncomplicated notions of relationships and families, and methodologies that embrace deconstruction, reflexivity, and acknowledged politicized inquiry.
