'Women', it was assumed, shared characteristics based on biology and experiences of subordination; other aspects of their lives, such as language, national or ethnic identity, 'race', or sexual orientation were considered secondary to the identity of woman-ness. In this work, Dhruvarajan and Vickers call into question feminism's presumed universality of gender analysis, and bring to the foreground the voices of marginalized women in Western society, and of women outside of the western world.Gender, Race, and Nation discusses opening scholarship to the experiences of women in all of their diversity, making links between the differences in local contexts and global contexts, and relating to other women with the understanding of each woman's relative position in terms of power and privilege to facilitate coalition building and develop strategies to address issues of common concern to usher in a just and caring world for all. This change in perspective presented by Dhruvarajan and Vickers represents a paradigm shift in the study of women and women's issues, and forges a new approach to women's studies/scholarship on women, women' s movements, and global social transformation. 606 $aWomen$xSocial conditions 606 $aMarginality, Social 606 $aFeminism 606 $aFeminist theory 606 $aMinority women 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMarginality, Social. 615 0$aFeminism. 615 0$aFeminist theory. 615 0$aMinority women. 676 $a305.42 700 $aDhruvarajan$b Vanaja$0149155 702 $aVickers$b Jill, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455490503321 996 $aGender, race, and nation$92475354 997 $aUNINA
