Kitchen : heart of third world women's realities.

Abstract

This paper will explore the ways in which kitchens exist as contact zones between feminism and culture, where women struggle with their gendered obligations and the desire to escape. From a position of third world woman writers who are educated in feminist ideologies; they have assumed the role as “specialists” (Chow 91) to write about third world women of their native culture; to represent strategically their subjugation and advocating for women’s emancipation.
