Schouten's book is a must read for anyone who works in political philosophy, especially anyone interested in gender justice or anyone interested in the demands and limits of what can be done in the name of liberal legitimacy given reasonable pluralism. It is, truly, a great book... Schouten's book makes fantastic advancements in the analysis of the gendered division of labor and our understanding of the limits and demands of political liberalism. It will surely shape
future debates about both.
