Abstract
This manuscript looks at the role that critical feminism may have within the teacher education community. The author looks at the many components that are incorporated within critical feminism, and how we may look to such a scholarship as a way to think differently about ourselves as prospective and current teachers. Throughout the manuscript, the author brings in many diverse scholars, and demonstrates how their work complements the many components of critical feminism. Specifically, the author looks to the practice of self -reflexivity, and how this practice can be strengthened through the many characteristics that encompass a critical feminist theory. The manuscript concludes with a brief discussion of considering the potential contributions that critical feminism may have within the field of teacher education.
