Have we entered a historical moment of 'post-feminism'? This volume presents a timely and convincing 'no'. These essays demonstrate that there is a new generation of French women who take up questions of equality and difference from a position distinct from either first or second wave feminism, a position that often attempts to move beyond the binary of equality and/or difference to a new form of the individual.
This volume investigates whether contemporary French feminism has entered a post-feminist era by examining the evolving discourse on equality and difference. Editors Kelly Oliver and Lisa Walsh curate a collection of essays that argue against the notion of post-feminism, instead highlighting a new generation of thinkers who navigate the complexities of individual identity beyond traditional binary frameworks. The text serves as a critical bridge between established feminist theory and emerging contemporary perspectives.
