Woman is goddess and devil . . .. She can bring man to salvation or drag him down with her to hell. On the face of it, the pedestalgutter syndrome appears to reflect views that are diametrically opposed: woman is good, woman is bad. But in fact these views represent a single attitude: woman is different.

"The contributors to Feminism against Cisness showcase the future of feminist historical, theoretical, and political thought freed from the conceptual strictures of cisness: the fallacy that assigned sex determines sexed experience. The essays demonstrate that this fallacy hinges on the enforcement of white and bourgeois standards of gender comportment that naturalize brutalizing race and class hierarchies. It is, therefore, no accident that the social processes making cisness compulsory are also implicated in antiblackness, misogyny, indigenous erasure, xenophobia, and bourgeois antipathy for working-class life. Working from trans historical archives and materialist trans feminist theories, this volume demonstrates the violent work that cis ideology has done and thinks toward a future for feminism beyond its counter-revolutionary pull.

"Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist theorist Francoise d'Eaubonne's Feminism or Death surveyed women's status around the globe and argued that an internationalist feminism was not just about equality but about life or death - of humans and also of the planet. D'Eaubonne first proposed a politics of "ecofeminisme," the idea that the patriarchal system also destroys the environment, and that feminism and environmentalism must be connected"--

The rejection of individualism in feminist thought is traced, claiming that the rejection of liberalism by most feminists was also, for many, a rejection of individualism. This position is developed drawing on the work of Nancy Chodorow, (eg, see The Reproduction of Mothering, Berkeley: U of California Press, 1978), among others, who described the differences in male & female psychology & moral reasoning. It is argued that the use of this work has shifted over time, with the rise of gynocentric feminism, from focusing on women's difficulties to celebrating female psychology as simply superior to male thought. While this work has been useful & stimulating, it has obscured our difficulties & differences, while failing to fully address the challenge of individualism as a cultural form that stamps both men & women. It is concluded that dealing with individualism means rediscovering what made it attractive & "obvious" for so many, & working to integrate those elements into a fuller, freer conception of individuality & autonomy. 35 References.
