Abstract [en]

This thesis sets out to explore the potential of anarcha-feminist movements in critiquing liberal democracy and reshaping the political landscape. It argues that liberal democracy has inadequately addressed the persistent issues of social and economic inequality, particularly for marginalized communities and identities. In response, anarchist feminist perspectives emerge as alternative democratic visions that prioritize community empowerment, direct action, and grassroots organizing. Through an examination of the fundamental critiques of liberal democracy, an exploration of the theoretical frameworks underpinning anarcha-feminist democracy, and a thematic analysis of select anarcha-feminist movements, this thesis aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how anarcha-feminist critiques can enrich both democratic theory and practice. Acknowledging the dearth of knowledge and research on the impact of anarcha-feminist movements on the political landscape, this study embraces an exploratory approach. It recognizes that definitive and conclusive answers to existing problems may prove elusive. Instead, the primary objective is to contribute to a profounder comprehension of these intricate issues. To effectively capture the strategies and political ideologies inherent in anarchism and feminism, this study delves into the intricacies of three distinct anarcha-feminist movements in the United States and Europe. While these movements share common ground, they each emphasize distinct focal points, offering invaluable insights into the multifaceted nature of anarcha-feminism.
