A couple of days ago, I, for the first time, identified feminism as a research interest, which isn't exactly true, but, anyway...
Painful sentences to read:
"Rather, they seek to bring Arendtian theory to bear upon a conceptual problem that bedevils much contemporary theoretical feminism, and upon which the meaning of a 'feminism politics' itself hinges: the identity of the female as woman." (I'm so confused--what is the female that is not woman??)
"From feminist perspectives that interrogate, politicize, and historicize--rather than simply redeploy--categories like 'woman,' 'identity,' or 'experience,' Arendt's hostility to feminism and her critical stance toward identitarian and essentialist definitions of "woman" begin to look more like an advantage than a liability."
