Reconstructing political theory

de Mary Lyndon Shanley, Uma Narayan

In this volume leading feminist theorists rethink the traditional concepts of political theory and expand the range of problems and concerns regarded as central to the analysis of political life. Written by well-known scholars in philosophy, political science, sociology, and law, the book provides a rich interdisciplinary account of key issues in political thought. The book will be of interest to a wide audience concerned with the study of gender, and to all those in political science, philosophy, legal studies, and women's studies who are interested in the way in which political theory and practice can be fruitfully reconceived with the help of feminist perspectives.
