ABSTRACT
One of the effects of postmodernist deconstructionism on feminism has been the realization that ‘everyone is different’. The first ones who were struggling to break the assumed homogeneity and the necessary commonality of interests among women within feminism have been Black feminists like bell hooks who claimed (1991, p. 29):
The vision of sisterhood evoked by women’s liberationists was based on the idea of common oppression…a false and corrupt platform disguising and mystifying the true nature of women’s varied and complex social reality.
