inside

Much of the activity of the feminist movement over the past decade has focused on the difficulties women encounter—both inside themselves and in the world around them—in assuming roles ordinaly performed by men.

Does that 'inside' in bold imply 'inside the group' or something more psychological, like 'within themselves', 'inside their hearts'?

So it's not the 'inside the group and outside the group' thing here?
