Abstract
This chapter gives an overview of feminist scholarship and explains how it can help expose gendered assumptions in marketing and consumer research. The key aim is to help researchers gain a deeper understanding of three specific feminist approaches and how they may be used for analytic purposes. First we give a broad overview of the basic principles inherent in any feminist thinking before discussing these three bodies of feminist theorising: Poststructuralist feminism, ecofeminism and intersectionality. The first two have already made strong contributions in consumer research whereas the third, intersectionality, has been largely overlooked and is where we see potential new directions for gender critique.
