Opis

Six key scholars present a feminist critique of the theory of human rights. The title of this book might be taken to indicate its contents: a set of lectures given by women on the rights of women, the failure to achieve those rights, and the reasons and remedies for those failures. However, it also implies that womens’ rights are not simply the extension to all members of the community of the agreed-upon rights of men.
