emerging, or is it better to think of various feminisms? This mostly happens
because the concept of woman, generally used in a relationship of difference with that of
man and constructed in a hegemonic way, cannot encompass in itself all the

Caribbean, problematizing the hegemonic subject of feminism in order to, from it, point

a discussion of the interfaces between feminist epistemologies and psychology,
problematizing its ethical and political role with regard to the debate on the
transfeminism.
