Topic > Feminism Without Borders, by Chandra Talpade Mohanty

Mohanty explains that solidarity is necessary to unite people from different parts of the world, as well as to gain a voice loud enough to be properly heard; on the other hand, the notion of “sisterhood” tends to overlook the differences between women to make them one homogeneous group (Mohanty, 7). As for her anti-capitalist critique, she is a little less clear about what she wants to replace capitalism with. She says in her introduction that her ideal world includes “socialist practices,” and she cites many prominent socialist feminists, but she never clearly identifies herself as a socialist or as an advocate of a fully socialist economy (Mohanty, 4). It is clear that her new vision of feminism contains a socialist nature in addition to its call for solidarity in the world
