- Description
- The author discusses from a South African perspective the ways in which feminist politics have been dissolved in the post-1980s era as to make feminism look anachronistic. The focus of this article is in a concept in which patriarchy adapts a form that emerges out of the relative success in the socio-economic sphere of the post-war feminist movements in the Western world which gave middle-class women suffrage, reproductive rights, the space in which to critique misogynist and patriarchal cultural and media production, and many other gains. Harris wants to open the debate as how feminist politics may be revived.

- Description
- This article examines novels by Alix Kates Shulman, Marge Piercy and Erica Jong. These novels published in the early seventies were inspired by existentialism and Beauvoir, but reached mass audiences because they were also novels of the (hetero)sexual revolution. These texts carved out a radical terrain of subjectivity for women as they fought individually and collectively to reject a medicalised vocabulary and to discover their own sexual language

- Description
- The author aims to explore the complexities of this cultural moment in the context of expectations implicit in the wave metaphor, as well as those written into Poland's national mythology. Polish feminism resists the chronology of 'waves' and uses styles and tactics characteristic of the third wave to achieve a typical second wave outcome. Feminists are accused of being a danger to Poland entering the EU. The government has given up women's reproductive right to get the support of the church in the referendum.

- Description
- Author, an assistant professor at the Department of women's studies at San Diego State University, wants to position women for the future through lessons learnt from the past by recounting the history of women in Afghanistan. The focus of this paper is on the importance of rural Afghanistan in the shaping of the nation and on women's status. Author traces the history of women in Aghanistan to show that women in Afghanistan were not always oppressed by fundamentalism as occurred under the Mujahideen and the Taliban. And she also shows that women's issues were part of national construction agendas like they were already in the 1920's. Author also tries to highlight the power of tribal and community leaders in defining the role of women and in resisting any modernization that would challenge their patriarchal authority. This paper also highlights the efforts made to empower women to create a sense of nationhood.

- Description
- Paper in which the author explores cyberspace as a place where women who are struggling with anorexia can find sanctuary from the surveillance and regulatory mechanisms of control in the public sphere. Dias also explores the narratives of women who create and visit pro-ana or pro-anorexia websites in order to listen to these women's experiences of anorexia and their underlying reasons for inhabiting these spaces. Dias also looks whether women's behaviour on these websites may be considered feminist without being overtly political or overtly feminist and sees this dilemma as a central tension in third wave feminism.
