In this book Drucilla Cornell argues for a theory of feminist identity that embraces female sexuality and sexual difference. She enters the debate surrounding abortion, pornography, and sexual harassment, engaging with such thinkers as Catherine Mackinnon, Ronald Dworkin and John Rawls. She explores a defense of abortion on philosophical grounds, and examines the ill-defined and mis-understood world of sexual harassment.
