'''Post-feminism''' (or '''post-feminism''') is a term used to describe a range of viewpoints that position themselves as reactions to ]. The term was first used in the 1980s to signify a backlash over ]. It now denotes a wide range of theories, some of which argue that feminism is no longer relevant to today's society.<ref>Modleski, Tania.

{{R from alternative hyphenation}} | |||
One of the earliest uses of the term was in ]'s 1982 article "Voices of the Post-Feminist Generation," published in '']''. This article was based on a number of interviews with women who largely agreed with the goals of feminism, but did not identify as feminists.<ref>Rosen, Ruth.

The post-feminist texts which emerged in the 1980s and '90s portrayed ] as a monolithic entity, thereby allowing the author to criticize these generalizations.<ref> Jones, Amelia. “Postfeminism, Feminist Pleasures, and Embodied Theories of Art,” New Feminist Criticism: Art, Identity, Action, Eds. Joana Frueh, Cassandra L. Langer and Arlene Raven. New York: HarperCollins, 1994. 16-41, 20. </ref> Some claimed that feminism forced women to view themselves as victims, while others posited that women had grown disenchanted with feminism and now wished to return to domesticity. Others claimed that feminism had its merits, but must be extended to reflect the changing experiences and expectations of women. | |||
