Abstract

Within feminist writings, the issue of identity and difference in the analysis of women’s lives has received significant attention from both Western and non-Western feminists (Anzaldua, 1990; Hartsock, 1998; Hill Collins, 1990, 2000;hooks, 2000;Imam et al., 1997;Mama, 1996;Mohanty, 1991; Narayan, 1997; Oyewemi, 1997). In the past, a homogenised notion of ‘woman’ often remained unquestioned within feminist literature, with the experiences of white middle-class women often universalised to Other categories of women irrespective of race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, nationality and socio-cultural differences.1 According to African feminist scholars Beoku-Betts and Njambi (2005:113), this homogenisation in effect ignored or ultimately dismissed the agency of historically marginalised groups of women whose modes of identity and self-definition did not fit into traditional discourses on gender.
