Document Summary

What makes the study of feminism so interesting is that there are zillions of ideas circulating and enriching our understanding of the world. Your course package has an article by patricia elliot and nancy mandel that details some of the major feminist theoretical positions. I would like to emphasize that there are many more than just the ones found in this article. Many of the newer theories have emerged through third wave feminism which entered in the 1980s and forced white feminists in particular that their view of the world failed to accommodate the more complex oppression of women of colour. Feminism today contends that no one theory or group can speak for all women. There are many voices and there are many feminists developing theories that focus on race, sexuality, class, or religion or epistemology (knowledge systems). There are feminists focused on science and new ways of looking at bodies and their interpretations.
