Summary Of The Second-Wave Feminism Movement By Nancy Fraser
Nancy Fraser talks about the second-wave feminism movement that has been going on within the past 40 years. She writes about the second-wave movement and the recent historic movements of capitalism in feminism.
She talks about three parts that have taken a part in post history of capitalism. First one is the state organized capitalism. Here, she charts out the becoming second-wave out of the new left, anti-imperialist, and the convincing androcentrism and the sexist ways of the state organized capitalism. Next she raised the idea of neoliberalism, by looking at the process of feminism and how it dramatically changed socially. She looks at this new form of capitalism and the success of the movement. Lastly, she talk about the feminism that
has changed in today’s society, the political and capital crisis, which she believes might be the beginning to an end on neoliberalism to something new.
She argues, that the way everything moved together, critiquing capitalism, there are three parts to gender inequalities: economic, cultural, and a political dimension. These three critiques mixed together caused state organized capitalism. Therefore, feminists made a critique that was instantly spread in these decades. However, later in the decades, the three dimensions started to become separated but equally important for capitalism. With the broken pieces of the critique became part of the whole and recovered by neoliberalism. She calls it a vision of a just society.
She calls the three perspectives of justice: recognition, redistribution, and representation. She is trying to open up this discussion of freedom for women because we are living in the moment of an economic crisis and we need a political opening.
