Notes:

• Includes bibliographical references and index.
• This book offers a critique of power feminism using the critical theories of Theodor Adorno and Jacques Derrida. It counters a triumphalist reading of female empowerment using the negative, parergonal philosophies of these two authors, and advocates listening to the sufferer rather than celebrating the triumphalism of the reigning neoliberal order.

Subjects:

• Feminism.
• Feminist theory.
• Power (Social sciences)
• Adorno, Theodor W., 1903-1969.
• Derrida, Jacques.
