Globalization is characterized by the rise of neoliberal orthodoxy with its emphasis on market rules and their infallibility. It connotes the integration of the world into the global factory that entails tremendous competition of labor demand in order to accumulate capital. Therefore, the thinking of labor demand refers to the massive exploitation of women as they are perceived to play a pivotal role in the new industrial zone and manufactories. This paper aims to dive first into the understanding of globalization. Second, it highlights the history of those valiant women of Nder in Senegal and their implications in the fight against the western patriarchal culture and system of dominance. Finally, it articulates the radical feminists’ articulations of globalization and their challenges.
Keywords: Globalization, women of Nder, radical feminists’ articulations of globalization
