ABSTRACT
It would be easy to answer yes, of course, there is a Nordic feminism. Look at the consequences feminist thinking has had for women in the Nordic countries! The question, however, implies much more than that. We know for a fact that feminism in the Nordic countries has had a great impact on most women’s lives, but is there something specifically Nordic about the movement and the modes of thought that lie behind it? A related question is whether there is one Nordic feminism or many. In other words, what is feminism in the Nordic countries about? The authors of this edited volume address these questions indirectly. At its close, in Chapter 18, one of the editors, Bente Rosenbeck, deals directly with the questions: “What is the Nordic?” and “What is Nordic feminist scholarship?”
