Early feminist theory had emphasised the commonalities of women's oppression, neglecting profound differences between women in terms of class, age, religion, race and nation. As its exclusionary nature became evident, the collective 'we' of feminism was called into question. The inadequacies of feminist theorising that conflated the condition of white, middle class women with the condition of all women were highlighted in North America by black and Latin feminists, and in Britain by black and Asian feminists. Such critiques evoked the concepts of 'inter‐locking identities' and inter‐locking oppressions'. Related and more radical analyses came from feminist scholars in the Third world, where quite different agendas were called for. These critiques heightened the irrelevance of western feminism's analytical frameworks to the lives of most women around the world and attempted to reposition feminist debate within broader social, economic and cultural contexts of analysis advocated by scholars such as Janus. Such critiques spoke from a post‐colonial position, in which the self‐assumed authority of western feminists to speak about or indeed for others was disputed and decentered. Influential accounts of the tendencies of masculinist imperialist ideological formation to construct a 'monolithic Third world' woman', discursively constituted as the universal victim of Third world patriarchy, challenged feminists to "unlearn" their privilege and to deconstruct their own authority as intellectuals. These positions appeared to question the legitimacy of outside intervention of any kind, whether intellectual or political. Although subsequently attempted by the Third world scholars anxious to move beyond standpoints that threatened to mark all feminist politics as either inauthentic or unnecessary, they were enduringly influential in highlighting the questions identity and authority in feminist studies.
Q. The analytical frameworks of western feminists were critiqued by Third world scholars as:
Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.
I had occasion to work with her closely during the Women's International Year in 1975 when she was chairing a Steering Committee and made me the member in charge of publicity. Representatives from different political parties and women's organisations were on the committee, and though the leftists claimed a sort of proprietary right over her, Aruna encouraged and treated all members alike. It was not her political affiliations or her involvement in a particular cause, which won her respect and recognition, but her utter honesty in public life, her integrity and her compassion for the oppressed which made her an adorable person. She had the courage to differ with and defy the mightiest in the land; yet her human spirit prompted her to work in the worst of slums to offer succour to the poor and the exploited.
In later years – around late eighties and early nineties – Aruna Asaf Ali's health began to deteriorate. Though her mind remained alert, she could not actively take up her pet causes – action for women's advancement, planning for economic justice, role of media, reaffirmation of values in public affairs etc. Slowly, her movements were restricted and Aruna, who had drawn sustenance from common people, from her involvement in public life, became a lonely person. She passed away in July 1996.
Q. Who were made the members of the Committee of Publicity?
(i) Representatives from different political parties
(ii) Representatives from the leftist parties
(iii) Representatives from the women's organisations
(iv) None of the above
