School of Law, King's College London, Strand, WC2R 2LS, London, UK aut Resemblances of identity: Ludwig Wittgenstein and contemporary feminist legal theory [Elektronische Daten] [Vanessa E. Munro] In a context in which there is manifest multiplicity in women's daily lives, feminists have struggled to identify what it uniquely means to be a woman, without falling prey to charges of essentialism. Conscious, however, of the role which collective gender identity plays in providing coherence and motivation to feminist activity, a number of theorists have sought to find a way to retain group cohesion in the face of internal diversity. In this article, the merits and demerits of pre-existing attempts in this regard will be discussed. Having done so, an alternative approach, which builds on Wittgenstein's concept of ‘family resemblances', will be put forward and defended.
