An attempt to explore the idea that there are historical
sedimentations of people into gendered categories, including the
asymmetrical distances of both "women" and "men" from changing
ideas of the human; the increasing saturation, from the late
seventeenth century, of women with their sex; and the nineteenth
century elisions between "the social" and "women". It is argued
that feminism cannot but play out the inescapable indeterminacy of
"women" whether consciously or not, and that this is made plain in
its oscillations, since the 1790s, between concepts of equality and
of difference.;The author maintains that a full recognition of the
ambiguity of the category of "women" is not a semantic doubt, but a
condition for an effective feminist political philosophy.
