Description

Third Wave Feminism and the Wider World If anything can be said with certainty about third wave feminism, it is that it is mainly a first world phenomenon generated by women who, like their second wave counterparts, have limited interest in women's struggles elsewhere on the planet. The most comprehensive studies/expressions of third wave feminism that have appeared in the US, such as Leslie Heywood's and Jennifer Drake's Third Wave Agenda, the special issue of Hypatia on Third Wave Feminisms edited by Jacqueline Zita, and the anti-intellectual Manifesta: Young Women, Feminism, and the Future by Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, explore many new ways of "doing feminism" but exhibit little concern with the politics of gender and sexuality outside the west. Likewise, a perusal of third wave feminist websites yields only one site centered on "the fight for social justice" (Third Wave Foundation), and even that one unself-consciously focuses exclusively on events in New York City and on women's efforts in that town to combat inequalities stemming from "age, gender, race, sexual orientation, economic status" and so on. A current article in this same foundation's Women's E News earnestly reports the proceedings of a Barnard College conference (New York again) sponsored by the Veteran Feminists of America--Susan Brownmiller, Catherine Stimpson, Betty Friedan, Barbara Seaman, and others--as well as the critical response of the young women in attendance, with nary an allusion to any part of the world in which the names and aims of US feminists of the past and present would have little meaning (Friedlin). Other sites, produced in Germany, Quebec, France, Australia, the US and other wealthy nations/regions, proclaim that feminism is alive and well despite reports of its death {REF}, and provide information and articles on everything from activist projects, sports, and entertainment to domestic violence and diabetes. But these sites address feminist concerns in North America and Europe exclusively.
