Zusammenfassung
  • This essay seeks to debunk enduring myths about feminism by clarifying feminist ideology and principles, and by demonstrating how ordinary people, collectives, and organisations often live feminist values without explicitly identifying as feminists. It challenges narrow ideas of power that locate influence and resistance only within formal political arenas and activist spaces, showing instead how they manifest across everyday life. Drawing on Zimbabwe’s history, culture, politics, economy, and contemporary society, the essay traces how feminism has been expressed and practised in diverse and often unrecognised ways. Finally, it explores how to bridge the gap between actors who live feminist ideals outside formal feminist identification and those who self-identify as feminists, with the aim of strengthening collective efforts for gender justice. Ultimately, the essay seeks to create space for connection and solidarity between these groups, contributing toward a broader and more inclusive feminist movement.
