Are women the same as or different from men? Should women seek 'equality' with men or admit their 'difference'? First published in 1990, Same Difference explores these highly-charged political questions by examining how the women's movement has engaged with them over time and in three countries-Australia, Britain, and America.

Presenting a comparative analysis of affirmative action in different countries, this study argues that proponents of affirmative action need to direct more attention to the political uses of categories than to theorizing the content of the category "women".

Covers a range of policy problems relating to women's inequality including: pay equity, antidiscrimination and affirmative action, education, child care, abortion, domestic violence and sexual harassment.
