A Post-feminist is an anti essentialist, opposing simple binary oppositions such as man/woman in the hope of exploring or finding new subject positions for women outside of the mother/whore dichotomy and is in this respect linked to Post Modernism.
Post-feminism is seen in the work of Angela Carter in particular Passion of New Eve (1977) and in the work of other 'gender bending' authors, such as Jeanette Winterson, Patricia Duncker, and Judith Butler.
