This essay locates the subject of feminist inquiry within two articulations of power feminism: Foss and Foss's and Anzaldúa's. I argue that the former employs an individualistic notion of feminist subjectivity, while the latter presumes a subject embedded in, and hence accountable to, community. Parsing out these underlying assumptions enables a critical and recuperative reading of power feminism, proposing empowerment as a collective undertaking in which subjects are unevenly linked through global power relations
