Waves of feminism
- We have learned that classical social theory illuminates complexity
- CST remains relevant to our lives
- Standards of knowledge (ways of reading what’s happening objectively)

ruled by the emotions

EMPIRICIST FEMINISM
- Associated with thinkers such as Milman and Kanter
- Scientific methods are important (although mostly devised by men)
