Abstract

ABSTRACTThe research described in this paper is part of a PhD study that aims to bring to light women’s experiences of being a woman in 21st Century New Zealand. This paper will discuss the importance of storytelling in feminist research and outline its implementation in this study to understand the unique differences and lived experiences of the women who participated. I use standpoint theory and intersectionality to reclaim a discourse of difference and challenge the classification of women as a homogenous group. Diary methods were implemented to capture individual differences in lived experience. The use of women’s experiences is positioned in this study as the ‘starting off thought’ for understanding women’s identification with feminism and their simultaneous experiences of privilege and oppression.
