Media Reviews
Since feminism aims to transform social relations in order to overcome women's subordination, and since moral, social, and political philosophy seek to account for ethical interpersonal relations and to explicate and defend just social, political and legal institutions, it seemed natural that many feminist philosophers would choose ethics or social/political theory as a point of departure. Thus, feminist ethics and feminist social/political theory are now well-established fields offering rich literatures. This collection surveys pivotal topics and trends in this vital field.
