Thirty years after its initial publication, The Sexual Contract
remains a seminal work that challenges the standard view of the
implications of the idea, deeply embedded in Western thought, that
we should think of the state as if it were derived from an original
contract. This idea lays the foundations for modern contract
theory. In this book, leading feminist political theorist Carole
Pateman revealed for the first time that we were only given half
the story. The sexual contract that established men's patriarchal
right over women has been glossed over, and no attention is paid to
the problems that arise when women are excluded from the original
contract but incorporated into the new contractual order. Pateman's
critique of the traditional social contract continues to be
relevant to discussions about the marriage contract and the
employment contract, as well as newer cases, such as the welfare
contract and the environmental contract. With an updated preface by
the author, this edition speaks to ever-important questions about
freedom and subordination.
