This course examines feminisms as theories, ideologies, and political movements. We begin by reviewing definitions of feminism developed in relation to women's movements. We turn next to theorizing the process whereby feminisms gain ideological and political significance in particular contexts. The examination of feminist movements, their interconnection, and their relation to western feminisms entails rethinking concepts such as global culture, consciousness, and resistance. The examples also demonstrate the relation between feminisms and other ideological and political movements. Finally, we explore possibilities for global feminism.
