Historian and conservative feminist Elizabeth Fox-Genovese speaks about the status of feminism as a social movement. At the time of this recording, Fox-Genovese was the director of Women’s Studies at Emory University. She argues that “feminism has arguably emerged as the most influential movement of our time” because it implicitly involves “social, political and cultural” issues “across race and ethnic groups.” Despite that significance, she identifies what she sees as philosophical inconsistencies in modern feminist movements, particularly regarding “the language of freedom and rights.” Fox-Genovese argues that it is contradictory for feminists to both claim complete equality to men while also demanding absolute, individual rights. She centers her discussion of “the tension between equality and difference” around access to abortion. The lecture is followed with questions from the audience.
