Are women the same as or different from men? Should women seek âequalityâ with men or admit their âdifferenceâ? First published in 1990, Same Difference explores these highly-charged political questions by examining how the womenâs movement has engaged with them over time and in three countriesâ"Australia, Britain, and America. Case studies include disputes about maternity leave, protective legislation, affirmative action, custody, pornography, rape, and womenâs supposed metaphysical differences from menâ"their greater nurturing and caring capacity.

Challenging a common view of the womenâs movement as perpetually riven into âsamenessâ and âdifferenceâ camps, Same Difference highlights the political conditions which impel some feminists to argue in these terms. The implication of the analysis is that debates about sexual difference divert attention from important social issues such as how society is to reproduce itself and what kind of society we wish to create.

This book will be a beneficial read for students and researchers of feminist theory, womenâs studies, and sociology.
