Post-structural feminism
Post-structural feminism is a branch of feminism which uses insights from post-structuralist thought. Post-structural feminism emphasizes "the contingent and discursive nature of all identities".[1] It is also seeks to criticize the patriarchy.
Like post-structuralism itself, the feminist branch is mainly a tool for literary analysis, as promoted by Hélène Cixous, Monique Wittig, Luce Irigaray, Judith Butler and Julia Kristeva. Irigaray in particular is a famous post-structuralist, as evinced in her work The Sex Which is Not One (1977) and the deconstruction of the Oedipal Complex.
