Offers a critical exploration of the evolution of feminist theory and the state of feminist thinking today. This study assesses key problems of contemporary feminist thought, and identifies a set of common assumptions that link the wide variety of feminist theories in existence.
What makes feminist theory feminist? How did so many different feminisms come to exist? Judith Grant addresses these questions by offering a critical exploration of the evolution of feminist theory and the state of feminist thinking today. She provides an assessment of the key problems of contemporary feminist thought, and identifies a set of common assumptions that link the wide variety of feminist theories in existence. "Fundamental Feminism" calls for nothing less than a substantial revision of the core concepts responsible for shaping feminist theory. Grant identifies and criticizes these concepts - "woman", "experience" and "personal politics" - from their origins in pamphlets and writings which appeared during the early women's liberation movement to their current construction in feminist thought. She then connects a number of major contemporary debates to the longstanding influence of these core assumptions. The debates include: the hegemony of the white female perspective; the tensions between anti-pornography and pro-sex feminists; and the discussions surrounding the challenges presented by postmodernism.
