Paper with the result of an exploratory study on urban, middle-class women aged nineteen to forty-five in Nicosia, Cyprus. About half of them were involved in voluntary work or associations and groups that deal with 'women's and family issues'. Some of them have employed domestic workers from the Philippines and Sri Lanka to live in het house and either be responsible for housework, or look after their children and/or elderly. The feminist women in this study were further more tolerant of issues concerning homosexuality and sexual orientation and did not consider homosexuality as negative. This could not be said for the rest of the women. The author also pays attention to prostitution and the way women in Cyprus compare themselves with European, Russian and Asian women.
