Abstract
Women have throughout history participated in and sometimes initiated rebellions to defend the welfare of their family, community, class and race or ethnic group. These rebellions - with all their political, social and cultural complexity - are sometimes (rather patronisingly) called 'popular feminism' or 'unconscious feminism.' 1 We realise how problematic this appellation could be, since women - in Britain in particular, but elsewhere as well - have in the not-so-distant past organised precisely against radical feminism, to defend family values and other more conservative standards of social conduct. The perceived paradox reveals how differences and their related 'interests' are shaped in a contest over the symbols of public culture, often intersecting the divide based on gender, class, political and denominational persuasion, ethnicity or race.
