»We must declare war on the virus « stated UN chief António Guterres on March 13 2020 just
two days after the WHO had characterized the outbreak of the novel Covid-19 virus as a
pandemic. Elke Krasny introduces feminist worry in order then to develop a feminist cultural
theory on pandemic frontline ontologies which give rise to militarized care essentialism and
forced heroism. Feminist hope is gained through the attentive reading of feminist recovery
plans and their novel care feminism with the latter's insistence that recovery from patriarchy
is possible.
