One of the most influential books i've read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A great thought provoking and stimulating work of deconstructing the division of labor between the sexes. Includes sound arguments and should be a required text in college to expose more individuals to the harmful effects of inequality on women, children, and men.
A Rethinking of Justice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Okin is powerful because she extends considerations of justice and civic equality to women and the family in ways that classical and modern political philosphers have not. However, in doing so, she saves and extracts vital elements of these patriarchal theories and traditions to expose their radical potential.
