Decolonising Feminism: Aboriginal Women And The Global ‘Sisterhood’, Sam Grey

Sam Grey

For several decades the caution that “[w]omen should not position themselves ‘on the same side’ without any regard for the differences in power and privilege among women” (Grande, 2003:342) has circulated; yet feminism continues to espouse a ubiquitous ‘sisterhood’ based on common female experiences, perceptions, values and goals.

In light of this, the claim that ‘feminism is for everybody’ seems more politically useful, or optimistic, than accurate.
