 | | The feminism that mandates a quota of representation by lower caste women in village councils of rural India (reported in the New York Times, 3 May 1999) is not the same feminism as that which motivates those who demonstrate for reproductive choice outside a beleaguered abortion clinic in the United States. |
 | | Feminism is global in the sense that it emerges everywhere in indigenous forms that take shape through interactions with other feminisms and with its own local conditions. |
 | | The explosion of spatial rhetorics throughout many fields of cultural studies, including feminist studies, is part and parcel of the Global Age, a condition of postmodernity in which intensified multiculturalism and the migration of peoples, goods, and cultural practices, along with the invention of cyberspace, are transforming the modes of human thought and expression. |
