From Feminism to Post-Feminism: The Theoretical Transformation of Western Feminism

Abstract

The contemporary“post-feminism” in the West does not mean the end of feminism but the theoretical transformation of feminism. The post-feminism doubts about the grand narrative of the traditional theory while the psycho-analytic study of feminism becomes the supplement to the micro-analysis of the women’s emancipation in the traditional theory of feminism. Queer Theory and Cyber-feminism which appeared in the 1990s are an interpretation of the traditional form of standardization.
