Critiquing Cultural Myths in Feminism

This chapter examines the 'culture myth' which attributes women's oppression primarily to cultural factors, particularly among women of color and those from the global south. It critiques how this perspective overlooks the roles of global capitalism and white supremacy, fostering harmful stereotypes and misconceptions, especially regarding women in Muslim-majority countries. The chapter advocates for a deeper understanding of systemic issues and the importance of collective feminist struggles, highlighting the voices of marginalized women who challenge traditional narratives.
