The Routledge Companion to Feminist Philosophy is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key topics, subjects, thinkers, and debates in feminist philosophy. Fifty-six chapters, written by an international team of contributors specifically for the Companion, are organized into five sections: (1) Engaging the Past; (2) Mind, Body, and World; (3) Knowledge, Language, and Science; (4) Intersections; (5) Ethics, Politics, and Aesthetics. The volume provides a mutually enriching representation of the several philosophical traditions that contribute to feminist philosophy. It also foregrounds issues of global concern and scope; shows how feminist theory meshes with rich theoretical approaches that start from transgender identities, race and ethnicity, sexuality, disabilities, and other axes of identity and oppression; and highlights the interdisciplinarity of feminist philosophy and the ways that it both critiques and contributes to the whole range of subfields within philosophy.

Women and other oppressed and deprived people sometimes collude
with the forces that perpetuate injustice against them. Women's
acceptance of their lesser claim on household resources like food,
their positive attitudes toward clitoridectemy and infibulations,
their acquiescence to violence at the hands of their husbands, and
their sometimes fatalistic attitudes toward their own poverty or
suffering are all examples of "adaptive preferences," wherein women
participate in their own deprivation.
