Within much contemporary feminist theory there is a tendency to
forget or ignore its own historicity and consider itself as
primarily oriented towards the present. This book explores the
historical roots of some of feminism's central concepts and
debates, examining the philosophical conditions for feminist
thought and taking as its point of departure the dynamic
relationship between feminist thought and the history of
philosophy. With close attention to the genealogy of key concepts
such as equality, sex/gender and difference, alongside discussions
of contemporary gender equality policy and contextual
understandings of central figures including Wollstonecraft,
Beauvoir and Irigaray, The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking
provides an analysis of feminism from its origins in the Early
Modern period to its contemporary, post-modern forms. Shedding
light on feminism as a product of Modernity and establishing it as
part of the canon of European intellectual development, this book
thus corrects the picture of feminism as a phenomenon that lacks
historical continuity, revealing a history characterized by breaks,
setbacks and forgetting, in which the forgetting itself forms part
of a rich genealogy. As such, it will be of interest to
philosophers, sociologists, political theorists and intellectual
historians alike.
