Abstract
There is no question that both academic feminism and feminism at large are now situated in an “after” matrix. Theorists have been writing about the end of the first and second wave of feminism since the 1980’s, albeit with different emphasis and twists. Journalists in the United States have documented the neo-liberal backlash, and scholar-activists have characterized the aftermath of feminism in terms that spell both the exhaustion of a powerful discourse of gender liberation and a no-exit situation for many of the key convictions of gender theory.
