| Summary |
Feminist Ethics and Social Policy presents complex social issues in light of a feminist ethical perspective. The spirited essays collected here critique gender blindness and biases in traditional ethical theory while developing more gender-sensitive theories and concepts. Taken together, they conceptualize issues of right action, social justice, and the human good out of the specifically gendered experience of diverse groups of women |
