Feminism and power: the need for critical theory

Lanham, Maryland: Lexington Books (2013)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

This book offers a critique of power feminism using the critical theories of Theodor Adorno and Jacques Derrida. It counters a triumphalist reading of female empowerment using the negative, parergonal philosophies of these two authors and advocates listening to the sufferer rather than celebrating the triumphalism of the reigning neoliberal order.
