Let me provide one answer among the many that might be developed: A critique of a body
[sic -- whose?] of economic analysis may be called "feminist" if that critique is
developed from an analysis of the gendered assumptions that underlie the distinctions and
presuppostions of those texts. The surfacing of such gendered material may (or as well may
not) subvert the stated assumptions of those texts. In either case one has provided a
feminist critique of that economic analysis.
