The purpose of this paper is to situate peasant feminism within the current debate in feminist research strands on the importance, or the fallacy, of postmodernism for gender studies. We draw, among other sources, on academic work produced by activists of the Peasant Women's Movement who have chosen to pursue graduate studies, producing MA dissertations and Ph.D theses and moving on to become university professors. Our contention is that, despite the force of arguments against the influence of postmodern thought and its derivatives in favor of these women, there is room for a dialogue which, if we look at the field without assuming an a priori stance, has been taking place, albeit not explicitly.
