ABSTRACT
As a political generation shaped through engagements with feminisms, authors appreciated alternative epistemologies and ways of knowing being shaped through social relations of power and subordination. These histories have inspired different generations of feminist activists who have grown up in very different political cultural, economic and technological worlds. Rather than posing an opposition between individual and collective identities, feminism helped women on a path towards becoming authentic subjects able to make decisions for themselves and shape fluid and non-binary subjectivities that acknowledge the fluidity of their desires. But remembering the 1980s and 90s when younger generations, often educated with feminist teachers, assumed that the gender equality was a reality and so found it easier to assume that feminism was no longer relevant to them, they took feminisms for granted as the achievements of their mother's generation.
