Abstract

: This essay attempts to address the crucial relation of feminist philosophy to minorities inside and outside of feminism. To do so it turns to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, focusing on their concept of "becoming minoritarian" and related concepts. Aided by close readings of two canonical but ultimately negative assessments of Deleuze and Guattari, Alice Jardine's "Woman in Limbo" and Rosi Braidotti's Patterns of Dissonance, the essay outlines and argues the merits of a "minoritarian" feminism.
