Abstract
Over the last decade, the European Union (EU) has expanded the definition of illegal discrimination to include race, ethnicity, religion, disability, and sexual orientation. Does the added recognition of these discriminations to sex discrimination confront the manifold dimensions of oppression that women experience? The assertion that women are not a monolithic group may now be common, but what (if any) are the material implications of this insight? This chapter seeks to answer these queries by focusing on lesbians and their potential for redress against discrimination.
