Women in Political Theory

Focusing on the intersection of feminism, politics, and philosophy, this volume highlights the significant contributions of women philosophers to contemporary political thought. It provides in-depth analyses of five influential thinkers—Sarah Grimké, Anna Julia Cooper, Jane Addams, Rosa Luxemburg, and Hannah Arendt—while also exploring their connections to established political theorists. The book argues that each of these women was a vital political theorist in her own right, enriching the discourse of their time.
