Feminist Theory

Theorists who analyze gender as a structuring force in society, spanning liberal, radical, socialist, psychoanalytic, standpoint, postmodern and intersectional strands of feminist thought. This group gathers the theorists whose central contribution is a theory of gender, patriarchy, sexual difference or women's social position, from the earliest feminist critiques of women's exclusion from full citizenship through contemporary theorists of gender performativity, intersectionality and the politics of reproductive and care labor.
