"Yielding Gender" explores and reconsiders the tensions that
deconstruction poses for feminist philosophy. Emphasizing the
important role of deconstruction in revealing the ambiguity and
unstable nature of gender, Penelope Deutscher asks the crucial
question: does the very instability of gender mean that we can no
longer talk of a man or a woman of reason in the history of
philosophy?
Using the work of Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida and Luce
Irigaray, Deutscher explores this question by examining the issue
of gender as "trouble," deconstruction and feminist criticism of
the history of philosophy. She then considers and challenges
feminist interpretations of some key figures in the history of
philosophy. Deutscher sketches how Rousseau, St. Augustine and
Simone de Beauvoir have described gender and argues that their
readings of gender are in fact empowered by gender's own
contradiction and instability rather than limited by it.
