Post-feminism and the female gaze

Post-feminism (1980's)
- a re-appraisal of feminist views
- does not strive for 'equality' as this assumes men are 'the best'- they wish to surpass male achievements
- Objected to theories which position them as objects of the 'Male gaze'
-Identifies a 'female gaze' and women are actively desiring men
-Women begin to assert their right to dress and be sexually active.
