Third World Feminism is a critical framework that emerged as a response to the inadequacies and exclusions of Western feminist discourse, especially during the 1970s and 1980s. It challenges the dominant Western narratives of feminism that often universalize the experiences of women based on the lives of white, middle-class women in the Global North. Third World Feminism is rooted in the specific socio-political, cultural, and historical contexts of women in the Global South—Africa, Asia, Latin America, and parts of the Middle East. It foregrounds the interplay of gender, colonialism, race, class, and global capitalism in shaping the lives and struggles of these women. One of the most influential critiques of the Western feminist gaze came from scholars like Chandra Talpade Mohanty, particularly through her seminal essay “Under Western Eyes” (1984). In it, she argues that Western feminist scholarship often constructs a monolithic and stereotypical image of the “Third World Woman” as victimized, passive, and lacking agency. This construction not only homogenizes a highly diverse group but also reinforces a hierarchical relationship between Western feminists as saviors and Third World women as subjects needing rescue. Third World Feminism attempts to decenter this dominant narrative by recognizing the plurality of feminist struggles and the need for a more intersectional approach. It critiques the way global power dynamics are reproduced within feminist movements, particularly how Western feminist agendas are sometimes imposed on non-Western contexts without considering local cultural, __________ ________ ____ ___ ________ ______ ______.
