Concept information

Preferred term

postmodern feminism  

Definition

  • Postmodern feminism: These two words together can be read in several ways, partly because the first word is a kind of hybrid term whose meaning has been much contested and partly because the second word is the name for a variety of practices, both intellectual and activist, that have developed out of the history of women's struggle for equal rights, liberation, and self-definition. Thus, postmodern feminism can sound like the felicitous conjunction of two powerful forces. [Source: Encyclopedia of Gender and Society; Postmodern Feminism]
