“Does feminism have a generation gap?”

This chapter explores a number of instances when generation is invoked and discusses in three feminist blogs: the UK the Vagenda, the US-based Crunk Feminist Collective, and the UK Feminist Times. It examines how generation is discussed in terms of a feminist identity, especially in relation to intergenerational conflict and describes a textual analysis of these blogs within a conjunctural and intersectional understanding of generation. The chapter looks at how these narratives of intergenerational feminism are produced or emerge from specific UK and US historical conditions, and the organization of social forces within them and also looks at how they map on to popular media discourses about generation. It also explores the ways in which generational identity intersects with categories of race, gender, class, sexuality and place. Feminism is frequently talked about in terms of generation, both by feminists and the mainstream media.
