Description:

In this collection, leading feminist political theorists offer papers, new and classic, on the key concepts of traditional political theory. The emphasis is upon the construction of a positive feminist political theory on the foundations of criticism of the tradition.

Synopsis:

Feminist scholars have been remaking the landscape in political theory, and in this important book some of the most important feminist political theorists provide reconstructions of those concepts most central to the tradition of political philosophy. The goal is nothing less than the construction of a blueprint for a positive feminist theory.Many of these papers are completely new others are extensions of important earlier work two are reprints of classic papers. The result is a progress report on the continuing feminist project to re-envision traditional political theory. As such, it constitutes essential reading not only for feminist thinkers but also for traditional philosophers and political theorists, who will need to come to terms with these contemporary critiques and re-readings.
