"The Second Sex” - by Simone De Beauvoir
Modern feminist theory:
1. Intersectionality - take into consideration the different experiences in which women experience discrimination - economic class, race, religion, birthplace etc. -- Different groups need different intervention to correct it.
2. Post-globalization feminism - globalization (tree trade, free trade of capital) causes nations to be assimilated with western values, --> homogenization of cultures to match the dominant group of the system. Liberal feminist in the west allegedly overstepped attempting to assimilate their diverse needs to reflect on their own. This will not bring liberation but will further divide the global feminist movement and limit opportunities for intersectional discussion.
