Opis

Feminists have been concerned to identify sexist assumptions implicit in the major philosophical traditions, and it is this commitment to gender equity that has enabled them to make distinctive and important contributions to philosophy. Bringing together key articles in feminist ethics and social/political theory, this collection is structured to highlight salient concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advances feminist philosophers have made.
