Feminists taking the empty place

This chapter explores women’s identity as one example of the types of political groupings described by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe in Hegemony and Socialist Strategy, and the project of radical democracy and discusses the role of spatial practice in constructing radical forms of political identity. Laclau and Mouffe argue that the democratic struggles of women are one example of the types of subject position or political identity, as described in Chapter 2. ¹
