Abstract: In the last few decades, postmodern thinking has transformed critical engagement with, the matters of social, literary and artistic “knowledge” across a variety of disciplines, from literary studies and the creative arts to essential areas of philosophy, Feminism and many other fields. This article discusses the intersection between postmodern thought concerning the construction of the subject and feminist notions of an authentic female ontology that is not wholly dependent on patriarchal and imperialistic “writings” of women. (It also suggests that the earlier feminist exploration of the female patriarchal subject may even have been the forerunner of notions of the postmodern constructed “self”.)

Keywords: Postmodern Ontology, Marianne Wiggins’, John Dollar, feminist thinking.
