Possible Theories
Post-Colonial Feminism
Postcolonial feminism seeks to account for the way that racism and the long-lasting political, economic, and cultural effects of colonialism affect non-white, non-Western women in the postcolonial world.
a critique of feminist theorists in developed countries pointing out the universalizing tendencies of mainstream feminist ideas and argues that women living in non-Western countries are misrepresented.
"woman" as a universal group, women are then only defined by their gender and not by social class, race, ethnicity, or sexual preference.
third wave of feminism, which began in the 1980s, in tandem with many other racially focused feminist movements in order to reflect the diverse nature of each woman's lived experience
postcolonial feminism addresses what some call the oversimplification of Western feminism as solely a resistance against sexist oppression. Postcolonial feminism, in contrast, also relates gender issues to other spheres of influence within society.
See false claims of universalism arising from knowledge which is based largely on the experiences of relatively priviledge western women.

The postcolonial feminist movements look at the gendered history of colonialism and how that continues to affect the status of women today
Postcolonial feminists see the parallels between recently decolonized nations and the state of women within patriarchy taking "perspective of a socially marginalized subgroup in their relationship to the dominant culture."
n this way feminism and postcolonialism can be seen as having a similar goal in giving a voice to those that were voiceless in the traditional dominant social order.

concerned with the relationship between knowledge and power, those who construct meaning and create knowledge thereby gain a great deal of power.
men generally seeing as knowers, women have been marginalized bot as knowers and as the subjects of knowledge
Second-wave feminism began in the early 1960s and inspired women to look at the sexist power struggles that existed within their personal lives and broadened the conversation to include issues within the workplace, issues of sexuality, family, and reproductive rights
The first wave of feminism almost exclusively addressed the issues of these women who were relatively well off. The first-wavers focused on absolute rights such as suffrage and overturning other barriers to legal gender equality.
