Abstract This literal review intended to assess and shed light upon if west-centric feminism justifies the neoliberal globalization that reproduces the reproduction of inequality in the world. The result indicated that sex is not sufficient to categorize a universal group of women and that other aspects of social structures such as class, caste, ethnicity, race, religion and age should be included in transnational feminism, and that this discourse needs to be characterized by contextual understanding of culture and power. Neoliberalism has created space for personal freedom and choice, but all do not possess the same conditions to utilise tools to attain positive progress in regard to these choices. Furthermore, this study has revealed that feminism is subordinate to the globalization of neoliberalism and that the post-feminist trend could be perceived as being discrepant with a progressive transnational feminist movement. / <p>140929</p>
