This article examines the transformative possibilities of feminism at a time when it is expanding in an unprecedented way, which has given rise to new dilemmas: Where are we going? Who are our travel companions? Is there room for all positions in this upheaval? Is it possible to set limits? Who will be responsible for these questions? Is there just one subject or many? The hypothesis is that feminism today is reconstructing a new "we" that will address the philosophical-political problem of how to consider differences without reducing them to a new unity, while making it possible to express concrete, open universals by reformulating their classical understanding as empty shapes. This "us" is capable of virtuously recombining differences, radical equality, and the challenge of the ordinary, and raises one of the most difficult questions of our time: How can we live together and based on other ethical-political criteria within a framework of intensification of violence, vulnerability, and disaffection, and at a time when the old forms of political action are in crisis?.
