Talk:Dominant narrative

I would begin your article with a clear definition of dominant narratives before addressing feminist interventions in challenging these narratives. It might be useful to contrast dominant narratives with counter-narratives, which some feminists have used to combat the former. In addition, I would recommend that you provide a few examples of dominant narratives in order to illustrate how these narratives exclude, for instance, women of color, poor women, queer women, and so on. Lastly, it might be helpful to consult a few scholarly sources on intersectional feminist praxes in order to demonstrate how dominant narratives often omit intersectional analyses of the social conditions of women of color, poor women, queer women, trans women, and so on. To locate these kinds of sources, perhaps you could refer to the bibliography used in the Wikipedia entry for intersectionality.

Suggestions for Further Improvement
I think that your lead section could still improve in terms of providing a clear, coherent definition of dominant narrative. What you could emphasize more in your first paragraph, for instance, is how dominant narratives are often circulated as mainstream, thereby rendering alternative narratives secondary or marginal to these dominant narratives. In addition, I think that you could contribute an additional sentence or two that describes what the term "dominant culture" means and how this term can help clarify what a dominant narrative is. Lastly, I would add a few more sentences in the last paragraph of your lead section that stresses how counter-narratives are often used to resist or subvert the social realities constructed by dominant narratives.
