ABSTRACT

In her article, ‘Feminism and the Challenges of the “Post-Cold War” World’, Jane Jaquette sounds an alarm. She exposes the dangers of ignoring the state and the dangers of ‘difference feminism’. She also shows how these are linked. Although I will underscore the merits of anti-state activity and difference feminism, I agree that a feminist strategy that neglected or deplored state action would be weak indeed. So would a strategy that relied on women’s differences from men.
