520 $a This dissertation consists of three chapters, each of which speaks to issues of difference, feminism, and identities. Though originally conceived as independent articles, collectively they highlight the need for undisciplined feminist scholarship.
520 $a My first chapter examines the limitations of sociological research on feminist identities and ideologies that ignores the intersection of race and gender. Drawing from multiracial feminist theorizing, I ask: is self-identification as feminist a biased indicator of the salience of feminism in African American women's lives? Do women's racial statuses mediate the relationship between particular life events and experiences and the extent to which they embrace feminism? And, to what extent are racial differences important when considering what women understand feminism to be? I conduct multiple group analyses of structural equation models to analyze data from the 1996 General Social Survey and find we may need to rethink traditional approaches to sociological research so that women's differences are no longer marginalized.
520 $a My second chapter examines what are thought to be generational differences within contemporary American feminism. I identify three dominant approaches to understanding "third wave" feminism: cohort-based, age-based, and theory-based, and then analyze empirical data to discern the extent of difference within and across "waves" of American feminism, using each of these approaches. Drawing from a combination of qualitative and quantitative data, I argue that third wave feminism should be understood as an identity, rather than a distinct theoretical perspective, age group, or cohort. My findings suggest that feminists of all ages share many important aspects of their gender and political ideologies. Moreover, my analysis of "third wave" feminist texts and many "second wave" texts reveals that, in many cases, feminist scholarship itself reproduces the very differences it aims to understand.
520 $a My third chapter speaks to issues of essentialism and identity, in theory and practice. In this chapter, re-examine how Butler, Honig and multiracial feminist theorists have responded to the "paradox" of feminist identity politics. After critically evaluating each of these approaches, I suggest that an alternative response to the paradox of identity politics might stem from "life reconstructions" and the development of undisciplined "public voices."
