ABSTRACT
This question, as far as I know, has not yet been asked.1 I pose it now, not because I share its assumptions (that there are no great women postmodernists, for example) but to point to a process which is producing this question as one of its effects, under our very noses and even as we speak. The process I am referring to is an intellectual one: the process of production of postmodernism as a master discourse and discourse of mastery, whose mastery is accomplished through the active and systematic disappearance of women in general and feminism in particular from the framing of its terms and relevances and, correspondingly therefore, from contemporary descriptions and debates of and about culture inasmuch as it is constituted as postmodern.
