From Triple Jeopardy to Intersectionality: The Feminist Perplex
In: Comparative studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, Band 32, Heft 2, S. 415-428
ISSN: 1548-226X
This essay focuses on the contradictory state of feminism today, showing how the transformations feminism has undergone since the inception of the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s have manifested accommodations to changes in the broader political arena. To illustrate this, Aguilar's article traces the evolution of "intersectionality," a central concept in feminism, from the "triple jeopardy" slogan of the second wave. It makes evident that while intersectionality recounts and mimics the triple jeopardy motif propounded by US third world women it has, in fact, successfully been emptied of its revolutionary content. This essay argues that such evisceration characterizes contemporary US feminism. To resolve this quandary, Aguilar proposes that sharper analytical tools be deployed to comprehend a larger social totality than what prevailing discourse offers and that creative energies be channeled into the building of a revolutionary social movement.

Filipino Women and the Work of Mothering
Explores Filipino women's perspectives on motherhood, drawing on late-1980s open-ended interview data from 19 mothers in Manila. Responses fit squarely into conventional categories of thinking about marriage, motherhood, family, & children in the Philippines; ie, marriage is the most natural state for women, reproduction is a primary female role, self-sacrifice is more a woman's than a man's duty, & parental obligations continue after a child's marriage. A maternalist ideology is found to structure women's perceptions of their role in Filipino society. While the force of this ideology results at times in oppression, it is argued that, for these women, motherhood is attached to material & moral support of kin, thus representing an experience of unequaled joy as well as personal selflessness.
