Feminist Political Philosophy

Political philosophers working on the political dimensions of gender, sex and the structures that sustain inequality between men and women, from early Enlightenment feminist political thought that first argued for women's rational and civil equality, through twentieth century socialist feminist political philosophy that linked gender oppression to class and economic structure, to contemporary feminist political philosophy addressing justice, difference, structural oppression, gender and sexual liberation, and the intersections of gender with race, class, borderlands identity and colonial history.
