Preferred term

feminist theory  

Definition

  • Feminist theory is a diverse body of thought based for the most part on one or more traditional or contemporary political, social, and cultural theories such as liberalism, socialism, and postmodernism. The difference between feminist theory and nonfeminist theory is that the former self-consciously reflects on the experience of women and deliberately uses the lens of gender as its preferred critical perspective. [Source: Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society; Feminist Theory]
