Abstract Since the turn of the century, there has been a serious rethinking of mainstream feminist development both in the United States and the world, especially on the American second-wave feminist movement since the 1970s. The article is a survey of critiques focusing on the relationship between second-wave feminism and the neo-liberal capitalism, mainly by Marxist, anti-racism and anti-imperialism feminist scholars. These critiques investigate major goals,strategies and organization of mainstream feminist movements, in order to understand how they have been manipulated by neo-liberal capitalism, thus becoming an integral component of its global economic restructuring and American hegemony over the world.
