Abstract

This paper discusses the implications of recognizing diversity among women for feminist geography. The need to recognize and theorize differences between women poses a challenge to both feminist theory and politics based on the assumption of a unity of interests between women. The challenge to this position from three areas is outlined—from charges of ethnocentrism within feminist writing and the politics of the women's movement, from a feminist critique of anthropology, and from the method of deconstruction in post-structuralist theory. It is argued that the recognition of difference will not weaken, but rather strengthen feminist scholarship.
