The concept of ‘femicide’ was first formulated in 1992 by Jill Radford and Diana
Russell; nonetheless, it has not been widely discussed in feminist philosophical arenas.This
situation has led to a narrow understanding and/or misunderstanding of the concept. For example,
it is often applied to a phenomenon mistakenly assumed to occur “only in third world countries” or
said to essentialize women. Through a new-materialist methodology, this paper contributes to the
discussion on this concept from a feminist theoretical perspective.
