Public Man, Private Woman (eBook, ePUB)

Women in Social and Political Thought - Second Edition

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the Western philosophical tradition and the work of contemporary feminists, Jean Elshtain explores the general tendency to assert the primacy of the public world-the political sphere dominated by men-and to denigrate the private world-the familial sphere dominated by women. She offers her own positive reconstruction of the public and the private in a feminist theory that reaffirms the importance of the family and envisions an "ethical polity."
