First published in 1998, this collection brings together key articles by prominent feminist thinkers, providing a sophisticated exploration of theoretical topics central to feminist social thought. It highlights significant concerns in contemporary feminist scholarship and the advancements made by feminist philosophers. The editor's introduction offers alternative pathways through the text, enabling instructors to tailor the reader to their specific courses and student interests. Each article includes a brief introduction that contextualizes it, emphasizing the main issues and conclusions, which aids students in navigating challenging theoretical concepts. Organized around seven topics—constructions of gender; theorizing diversity; figurations of women; subjectivity, agency, and feminist critique; social identity, solidarity, and political engagement; care and its critics; and women, equality, and justice—this collection represents a broad spectrum of feminist thinking. Students will engage with critical questions, including how gender norms are instilled and perpetuated, the relationships between gender and other social positions like race and class, the resources available for recognizing and resisting subordination, the goals of feminist politics, and the reconciliation of social and legal equality with difference.
Iris Marion Young Boeken
Iris Marion Young was een Amerikaanse politicoloog en feministe wier werk zich richtte op de aard van rechtvaardigheid en sociaal verschil. Haar geschriften onderzochten hoe maatschappelijke structuren en machtsrelaties kunnen leiden tot onderdrukking en ongelijkheid, en pleitten voor genuanceerde benaderingen om rechtvaardigheid te bereiken. Geïnspireerd door denkers als Michel Foucault en Jürgen Habermas, ontwikkelde Young originele perspectieven op politieke theorie en ethiek. Haar analyses, die zich vaak richtten op gemarginaliseerde groepen, hebben hedendaagse discussies over sociale rechtvaardigheid en politieke filosofie diepgaand beïnvloed.
