"Feminist Theory in Pursuit of the Public "argues that feminism
needs to develop a theory of the public. It responds to a moment
when feminism's impetus to reconstitute the private sphere left a
huge gap in its political thinking on the public. This inattention
to the public is particularly worrisome now when the nation-state
and its publics seem to have diminishing power and compromised
democratic agency. The waning of power in the public sphere
diminishes the influence that citizens can have in deciding on the
conditions of life, and therefore minimizes the changes that
feminists can envision or enact in the social field to work towards
equality, access, deliberation, participation, just distribution,
rights, and authority for women.
