Women’s shared alienated embodiment grounds political appeal across all differences

Evidence

When it concerns the possibility of women’s forming a liberation movement, their shared embodied experience of alienated subjectivity can provide the ground that opens the space for women to appeal to each other across class, race, and culture lines. When it concerns the possibility of women’s appeal being heard by men, the ground must be an experience of a shared human ambiguity. — Christine Daigle, Jacob Golomb (eds.), Beauvoir and Sartre, 80
