Summary/Abstract: In this paper I argue that understanding the transnational nature of feminism as a recent trend is the best way in which we can situate the particular Canadian social phenomenon. I endeavour to follow womanhood reconstruction as part of social life in postmodernity. The focus will be on the following perspectives: issues related to equality, difference, social inclusion, gender, patriarchy, symbolic violence, maternity values and bodies.
