I Thought that was Just for Western Girls. Global Culture and the Era after Feminism

Abstract

There has been a substantial amount of academic discourse given to the subject of post-feminism, with the majority of the focus being placed on the "Western" setting and a definition of post-feminism that is in perfect alignment with "Western culture." The current research sheds light on the fact that feminist culture academics have not paid nearly enough attention to the potential effects that post-feminism may have on cultural contexts that are associated with other cultures. During the process of analysing and assessing postfeminism, this study recommends for the utilisation of a strategy that is both complete and methodical. Within the larger framework of transnational feminist cultural studies, this is accomplished by presenting a concise survey of the literature on postfeminism in situations that are not traditionally associated with the Western world. This argument implies that by adopting this method, one might be able to acquire a more comprehensive understanding of postfeminism as a cultural phenomenon that transcends national borders and has an effect on people of all genders all over the world, rather than merely in Western Europe and the United States. In the final section of the paper, a precise definition of the term is presented, and an investigation into the potential benefits that this novel conceptual framework may offer to feminist cultural researchers who are investigating post-feminism on a global scale is carried out.
