Theorising About Gender in South Africa

Abstract

Feminist theory is concentrated on androcentric interpretations and the patriarchal status quo, with conflicts among feminists taking a definite second place to the concern with uniting women in the face of their oppression under patriarchy. Recently, however, and especially in the United States, controversy among feminists has acquired a new intensity, with influential theorists like Gayatri Spivak and Trinh T. Minh‐ha challenging the limitations of dominant feminist paradigms.
