Writing about changes in the notion of womanhood
Denise Riley examines
in the manner of Foucault
shifting historical constructions of the category of "women" in relation to other categories central to concepts of personhood: the soul
the mind
the body
nature
the social. Feminist movements
Riley argues
have had no choice but to play out this indeterminacy of women. This is made plain in their oscillations
since the 1790s
between concepts of equality and of difference. To fully recognize the ambiguity of the category of "women" is
she contends
a necessary condition for an effective feminist political philosophy.
