What is a woman? What, if anything, do particular women have in common with one another? What differentiates women from other groups of beings? In this interview, Jennifer McWeeny describes how a new kind of feminist ontological project that she terms "topographies of flesh" can speak to these keystone feminist questions and others. She also discusses her comparative philosophical method, how she came to call herself a feminist, why she sees veganism as a feminist issue, and the need for creative feminism that goes beyond critique of dominant ontological paradigms.
