ABSTRACT
While women can lack any awareness of class, and may fail to acknowledge racism, they are generally very much aware of numerous other divisions which structure and colour their daily lives. Culture, ideology, and sexuality are critical areas in the relations between women. They are all problematic areas in social theory which are dealt with in extensive literatures of their own. I cannot attempt to review them here as they are all disputed terms that have been given different meanings within different theoretical discourses. I have used them to help identify further divisions between women which constitute problems for feminism. I have not tried to evaluate the usefulness of the concepts in any extensive way but have indicated the particular meanings that I am drawing on.
