The Pragmatics of Iris Marion Young's Feminist Historical Materialism
How do we make sense of the contradictory claims embedded in these two views articulated by the same scholar over a 15 year interval? Is the mature feminist philosopher writing in the leading journal of feminist scholarship in 1994 repudiating the neophyte socialist feminist who published in Socialist Review? Are we glimpsing a familiar feminist trajectory from Marxism to socialist feminism to poststructuralism? Do these two claims represent a discursive shift in how one writes feminist theory or a change in philosophical views?
