Outline the major differences between the second-wave feminists and the third-wave feminists.
On May 10, 2024
While some second-wave theorists,like Dorothy Smith,did attempt to take social class into account,most theorizing was framed around a homogenous notion of "women"-difference was not recognized,let alone theorized.
Rather than a singular voice,third-wave feminists believe that what is needed is attention to the multiplicity of women's voices.Third-wave feminists challenge second-wave thinking that women indeed shared a common experience;they challenged the coherence of the category of woman.These feminists are interested in creating space for a feminism that takes up difference based on race,social class,sexuality,and so forth.Dichotomous positioning around gender and sexuality,for instance,is rejected and replaced with more fluid understandings.
