MEDINA-VICENT, Maria. Challenges of feminisms in the neoliberal world. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.1, e57212.  Epub Jan 01, 2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n157212.

feminisms are currently facing various challenges arising from the influence of neoliberalism in all areas of life. It is a logic that opposes the central core of this movement: the critical and radical character that seeks to achieve a social transformation and the equality between women and men. Starting from the confluence between feminisms and neoliberalism, in the present investigation we will try to identify the main current challenges faced by this movement, issues that should occupy a high priority in the establishment of the feminist political agenda around the world, but in too many occasions go unnoticed. We refer mainly to the rise of individualism, the depoliticization of the movement and the construction of a too homogenous/exclusive feminist political subject.

Keywords : Feminisms; Neoliberalism; Precariousness; Depolitization.
