ABSTRACT
In this chapter we examine the idea of a feminist epistemology and, more importantly, what its contents might be. A feminist praxis is not just an action in the world for this would render the concept of feminism and all the other concepts that have a direct relationship with it as meaningless, insofar as everything we do in the world would be a praxis. It comprises some form of conversion of thought into action, or at least the construction of a particular thought or set of thoughts in such a way that certain actions inevitably flow from it and other actions are set aside. As with all thoughts or thinking, this praxis is embedded in histories, archaeologies, and genealogies of that thought or concept and what that thought or set of thoughts allows or disallows. And, of course, praxes become, or may become, settled and persistent configurations, discursive or material.
