What is Mohanty about?
The article critiques Western feminist scholarship and its tendency to portray non-Western women in colonial terms. It argues that Western feminism constructs an "other" out of non-Western women through representations that assume Western experiences of gender oppression are universal. The article calls for feminist scholarship to historicize gender relations in specific cultural contexts and consider how Western powers influence representations of other cultures.
