In light of our recent discussiononcitogenesis and since this is a new navbox, I wanted to ask if this template's scope isn't contributing to retrospective labeling of individuals in a way that sources do not describe? Are the individuals used in this template called "anarcha-feminists" in sources? If anything, I imagine they're separately described as anarchists and feminists, and sometimes I imagine those two affiliations intersect, but as grouped in this template, it give the appearance of describing a unified tradition. czar 09:03, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In what follows, I provide an overview of the historical events, central ideas, and praxis of anarcha-feminism as it was reflected in the activism of female anarchists in Europe and the United States. In addition to describing the sociopolitical conditions from which anarcha-feminism arose, I highlight the contributions of several noteworthy activists: Louise Michel (1830–1905), Charlotte Wilson (1854–1944), Lucía Sánchez Saornil (1895–1970), Lucy Parsons (1853–1942), Voltairine de Cleyre (1866–1912), and Emma Goldman (1869–1940). Although these women did not call themselves ‘feminists’ or ‘anarcha-feminists’—as these labels were adopted by scholars and activists in later years—their political leanings clearly blended anarchist and feminist goals. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate how their political activism and unconventional lifestyles—understood in concert as a loosely assembled network of female anarchists—constituted anarcha-feminism as a core tradition of anarchism.
