The emergence of hip-hop feminism as a cultural, intellectual, and political movement has captured global attention in recent years, highlighting its significance in contemporary discourse. This review aims to re-examine the definition of hip-hop feminism, particularly in the context of globalization and digital media, and to explore its impact on challenging gender stereotypes and enhancing women's discursive power. Through a critical review and analysis of existing literature, this review reveals the deficiencies in the definition of hip-hop feminism and proposes updated and expanded definitions that more comprehensively reflect its global and cross-cultural dimensions. The findings suggest that hip-hop feminism encompasses a broader spectrum of activities and influences. It not only addresses the lives and perceptions of black women but also extends to performative and ethnographic studies, engages actively in digital platforms such as blogs and online communities, and facilitates new avenues for women's political engagement and social activism on a global scale. This review poses critical questions to address potential gaps in the existing literature, thereby mitigating the risk of incomplete or biased definitions of hip-hop feminism. It further proposes three robust theoretical frameworks to comprehensively define hip-hop feminism.
近年来，嘻哈女性主义作为一种文化、知识和政治运动的兴起引起了全球关注，凸显了其在当代话语中的重要性。本综述旨在重新审视嘻哈女性主义的定义，尤其是在全球化和数字媒体背景下，并探讨其对挑战性别刻板印象和增强女性话语权力的影响。通过对现有文献的批判性回顾和分析，本综述揭示了嘻哈女性主义定义中的不足之处，并提出了更新和扩展后的定义，以更全面地反映其全球和跨文化维度。研究结果表明，嘻哈女性主义涵盖了更广泛的活动和影响范围。它不仅涉及黑人女性的生活和观念，还扩展到表演性和民族志研究，积极参与博客和在线社区等数字平台，并为全球范围内女性的政治参与和社会行动主义开辟了新途径。本综述提出了关键问题，以解决现有文献中可能存在的空白，从而降低对嘻哈女性主义定义不完整或有偏差的风险。它还提出了三个强有力的理论框架，以全面定义嘻哈女性主义。
