New York : Routledge .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). 2. Please note that this argument also concerns ‘race’/ethnicity. In Harding's work, Haraway gets assigned the role of postmodern/post-structuralist feminist theorist who completes the black feminist disclosure of the racism of second-wave movement feminism. For the underlying pattern, see Hemmings (2005, 122). 3. See also Gayle Rubin (1975 Rubin , Gayle . 1975 . The traffic in women: Notes on the ‘political economy’ of sex . In Toward an anthropology of women R.R. Reiter . New York : Monthly Review Press . [Google Scholar]). 4. See, for example, Bronwyn Winter (1997 Winter, Bronwyn. 1997. (Mis)Representations: What French feminism isn't’. Women's. Studies International Forum, 20(2): 211–24. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]) and Sneja Gunew (2002 Gunew , Sneja . 2002 . Feminist cultural literacy: Translating differences, cannibal options . In Women's studies on its own R. Wiegman . Durham, , NC : Duke University Press . [Google Scholar]). 5. An example that Wylie refers to is Dorothy E. Smith (2004 Smith , Dorothy E . 2004 . Comment on Hekman's ‘Truth and method: Feminist standpoint theory revisited’ . In The Feminist standpoint theory reader: Intellectual and political controversies Sandra Harding . New York and London : Routledge . [Google Scholar], 263). 6. See also Prokhovnik's Rational Woman: A Feminist Critique of Dichotomy (2002, 43). 7. I would like to thank Professor Gail Lewis who, during the 6th European Gender Research Conference in August 2006, stressed the importance of thinking ‘multiple tracks’ in response to my paper. Lewis pointed out to me that black women stand in a specific generational relation to one another, and simultaneously to white women. 8. See also Claire Colebrook (2000 Colebrook , Claire . 2000 . From radical representations to corporeal becomings: The feminist philosophy of Lloyd, Grosz and Gatens . Hypatia 15 ( 2 ): 76 – 93 .[Crossref] , [Google Scholar]). 9. See Bracke and Puig de la Bellacasa (2004 Bracke , Sarah , and María Puig De La Bellacasa . 2004 . Building standpoints . In The Feminist standpoint theory reader: Intellectual and political controversies Sandra Harding . New York and London : Routledge . [Google Scholar]). 10. This is not to say that counter-examples do not exist. See, for example, Alison Assiter (1996 Assiter , Alison . 1996 . Enlightened women: Modernist feminism in a postmodern age . London and New York : Routledge . [Google Scholar]). What I claim is that these examples will not be noticed by the second-wave or post-second-wave feminist epistemologists.
