Lorde‟s point of view concluded the notion which taken very well, women derived the feminist movement by approaching another women‟s experience, in
another words, women learned each other to achieve their rights, through the togetherness of friendship. The experience with the others connected with
essentialism of being unique rather than different in the term of inferior Tong, 2009: 207

4. Global and Postcolonial Feminism
Global and Postcolonial feminists explored the relationships between first world nation and third world party that motivated and reduced women movement
in the third world. Through that relationship, the feminists tended to set their focus and interest toward the issues of sexuality, reproduction, economic and
political aspects, thus the feminist movement was often considered as a dynamic rather than static school of thought.
The right of women to freedom of choice, and the power to control our own lives within and outside of the home. Having control over our lives
and our bodies is essential to ensure a sense of dignity and autonomy for every woman. Tong, 2009: 216
The quotation above is one of the goal that the feminist has been trying to embrace, by relating the issues that emerged from the social construct, piece by
piece, layer per layer until the solutions have become able. The freedom of speech and the power to legitimate their position in the society, and having the quality
time by controling their own lives without the outer hands come to interfere, also the sense of honor and social justice have become the Global and Postcolonial
feminist broader concern for fighting the patriarchal practices and elimanate them to the lowest level.
The removal of all forms of inequity and oppression through the creation of a more just social and economic order, nationally and internationally.

change. Tong, 2009: 216
Global and Postcolonial feminist urged that women‟s development through the liberation of human rights was one of the components to provide the
better state of condition to the development of world itself. As one of the part of world development, women‟s liberation and development were provided and
supported, the feminists used the term “sisterhood” to strengthen the basic foundation of human rights, such as togetherness, women could achieve their
feminime through the relationship with others, experiencing the same fate of being oppressed and desires to fight against the oppression.
However the togethernes in the term of sisterhood could not guarantee the feminism until the others recognize their work and admitted their presence. The
term sisterhood was threatened with the term manyness because of the diversity of culture and race that emerged when a feminist comes into a group with different
feminists, with this implication, feminist AudreLorde emphasized that manyness was the inability of feminist to forge an alliances to create a better world.
Global and postcolonial feminist used the term of oneness to solve the conflict between the term of sisterhood and manyness. Even though there were a
lot of differences in the women‟s dream, “oneness” tied and united women to fight the oppressor, thus the people can be themselves without potential conflict

little cabin is being made with the money he sends home. Every two years

I‟ve heard the it is possible to prevent pregnancy by knowing the calender. Please teach our girls how to count the days so that they can control
pregnancies. Tong, 2009: 218
In the issue of reproduction, feminists emphasized that women must have priviledge control over their own body, for example it would be the best decision
if women decided by themselves on how many children they would have without ruining their health and ability to work outside the household. Besides, they also
emphasized that mothers have the right control over their own children, especially daughters to experience the better state of condition than their mother.
