| This article argues that it is misleading to analyse recent strategies regarding the state used by feminists in countries such as Spain, as examples of state feminism, because the meaning of the term is confused. The article discusses several cases of "state feminism" and shows that the term is used in such a variety of contexts and to refer to such contrasting and even contradictory phenomena that it is in danger of having any real meaning sucked out of it altogether. Furthermore, the article proposes that both the use of the term "state feminism" and the analyses of the various national experiences to which it refers underplay the role of the party in power at the time in which they occurred. To illustrate this, the article traces the origins of the Spanish Institute for Women back to the political commitments on sex equality made by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), and shows how these developed steadily under pressure from organized feminists inside the party. | |
