Over the past thirty years, western political philosophy has been
enriched by a renewed interest in liberalism, and by the
development of feminism. Although liberalism is one of the
important historical roots of feminism, many contemporary feminist
political philosophers reject liberal political theory. Indeed,
that liberalism and feminism are incompatible has been the dominant
view among feminist scholars over the past 30 years. Varieties of
Feminist Liberalism is a groundbreaking collection that examines
the relationship between these two rich normative traditions. The
essays in this volume present versions of feminism that are
explicitly liberal, or versions of liberalism that are explicitly
feminist. By bringing together some of the most respected and
well-known scholars in mainstream political philosophy today, Amy
R. Baehr challenges the reader to reconsider the dominant view that
liberalism and feminism are 'incompatible.' This long overdue
volume is the first to bring together papers by feminist liberals
and to aim explicitly at reconciling feminism and liberalism.
