ABSTRACT

We do not yet know what women are. It remains uncertain what it would mean to be a woman (to be part of the group “women”), just as it remains uncertain what precisely would constitute knowledge of women. There are neither epistemological nor ontological grounds which would settle the issue once and for all. This is not necessarily a political limitation for feminism. Women are yet to be determined and so are their (political) actions. We do not yet know what women can do.2
