Third-World Feminism

Third-World Feminism is also known and understood as 'Postcolonial Feminism'. Third-World feminists would argue that as a result of capitalisation, women in the 'Third World' would be oppressed by some other factors than patriarchy. For example, 'third-world' women would undergo some experiments during the process of testing contraceptives, which seem to be mainly manufactured and used by the women in the 'First World'.
