Questioning old assumptions is central to much feminist thought today. In the past feminism relied on the assumption that all women had something in common. In current feminist literature, by contrast, it is suggested that to talk of "woman' is problematic. The idea that women can be discussed in general, as a group in society with something in common, is said no longer to hold.
