I know that contemporary feminism has moved beyond the white middle-class, however so far as I'm aware the second-wave feminism with those limitations still has more literature and mindshare than third-wave feminism does. I may well be wrong. Most of my knowledge is on second-wave (third-wave didn't exist when I wrote my thesis, though I'm glad feminism managed to survive the splintering at the end of second-wave), though I am aware of some of the current goings on. When I started reading current works, the biggest changes I noticed were that performativity has moved from a wacky new theory to being accepted 'fact' (unfortunately one not much dwelt upon) and the focus is no longer on the patriarchy but rather on cooperative partnership as you say. Those changes don't address my real concerns, though they are good for feminism.
If my understanding of contemporary feminism is limited, perhaps you have suggestions on what I should read?
