Document Summary
Multiracial/multiethnic feminism: liberal/radical/multiethnic etc. are all connected, are all in dialogue with each other. Balancing gender and cultural differences; putting them in dialogue. Cultural dimension - feminism is contextualized within culture. Feminism in one culture is different in another culture; there are different types of feminism: african-american, latino, black feminism, asian-american, about contextualizing what it means to be a woman or man, class, cultural variables. About relativizing women from different class, religion, age groups. Main principles: gender is not something that can be looked at individually; need to look at other things such as ethnicity, race, class holy trinity . First categories introduced in the theory: later, new categories (sexuality, age, disability) were added. Diagram: ethnicity, race , class, religion, place all intersect with gender, other things that might intersect with or impact gender: location, geographic location, country, hierarchies, caste system. Complex inequality: something theorized by black feminists - argued that inequalities are complex; not simple.
