Abstract: Theoretical strands of postfeminism featuring within academic have been informed by both postmodern and feminist analyses together with the complexities inherent in postmodern feminism. An understanding of postfeminism clarifies its pluralistic and anti-foundationalist tendencies which become instrumental in rejecting the notion of a universal and singular conception of woman, and replacing it with the differences that exist between women. This emphasis on difference and individualism links postfeminism to its more popular manifestations. The debates around postmodern feminism largely centre on the problem of subjectivity as the focal point of concentration and division, Susan Hekman has referred to this as the distinction between the constituting self of the humanist/modern tradition and its constituted postmodern counterpart.
