The voices of ethnic minority women have largely been absent from the public Danish debate. What values and visions do politically active women have about equality in the private and public arenas? What are their ideas about equality and recognition? What type of discourses and strategies for political empowerment do minority organizations have? These are some of the main questions in this study of citizenship and power based on qualitative interviews with women who are active in voluntary organizations. On the basis of the narratives, the book analyzes the potential and barriers for political empowerment of ethnic minority women and the tension between ethnic identity, political biography and the development of gender political identities. The book describes minority women’s lives and the tension between the individual women and cultural identity, between family norms and visibility in public life, between equality and equal worth. The book discusses the democratic dilemma between equality and recognition of cultural differences and between multiculturalism and gender equality.
