Abstract This article focuses on the subject of feminism in the specific context of contemporary Spain. This feminist movement took in its first years, the 1970 and 1980, the “woman-housewife-mother” defined by the Franco regime as its subject, as a counterpoint from which to propose both an alternative identity for women and a collective identity for the movement. Starting the end of the 1980s and mainly in the 1990s, lesbian-feminists, transgender people, young activists, and queer feminists critiqued the focus on the womanhousewife- mother as the singular subject of feminism. Despite those criticisms, this article— which is drawn from two sociological research projects—notes that some feminists still propose a new unitary subject of feminism: the vulnerable subject. These feminisms construct this subject using a very narrow conception of vulnerability: vulnerability is exclusively exposure to violence and is equated with femininity. The text concludes with a reflection on how a more open, ambivalent, and ambiguous conception of vulnerability may allow us to rethink the subject of feminism without denying vulnerability but rather to take it as its condition of possibility.
