"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Destined to become a landmark in the struggle to create a just and democratic society, this is the first feminist critique of modem political theory that shows why and how, in order to include all of us, theories of justice need to apply their standards to the family itself.

Review:

"A tough, brilliant book...It doesn't let anybody get away with sexism."(--Boston Globe)

Review:

"The first sustained faminist account of distributive justice....a splendid book."(--Michael Walzer, author of Just and Unjust Wars)

Review:

"Should change the course of twentieth-century thinking about justice. After this book, no philosopher of stature will be able to write of justice without considering justice in the family. This book is genuinely path-breaking."(--Jane Mansbridge, Northwestern University)

Synopsis:

In the first feminist critique of modern political theory, Okin shows how the failure to apply theories of justice to the family not only undermines our most cherished democratic values but has led to a major crisis over gender-related issues.
