This article addresses a conflict between two political aims that are not commonly recognized as in tension with each other. Since both of terms in my title are complex and contested concepts, they require definition before I can addres how and why I perceive tensions between methodologies; the term as used here means the beliefs that women as having human dignity equally with men, and that they should have the opportunity to live as fulfiling and as freely chosen lives as men can. ' Multiculturalism ' is more difficult to define, since people tend currently to use it (and the term 'culture') in quite varying ways, and sometimes in more than one way at the same time. There are two contexts in which it is most commonly found, at least within current political theory: the first is the context of education, in which the problem confronted is that whai is taught as "culture"-including history, literature, philosophy, and so on- has largelyleft out groups such as women, people of races other than Caucasian, gays, lesbians, formerly colonized peoples, minority ethic or religious groups, and indidenous populations. In the context, multiculturalists have claimed, with varying inclusion of works by these excluded groups and by consideration of these groups' points of view in the interpretation of works, especially the "great books," whose authors were almost white males. This, sometimes reffered to as 'the politics of recognition' or 'indentity politics', is not the kind of multiculturalism I concerned with here.
