A collection of essays extending the author's work on feminist theory. The essays explore questions such as the meaning of moral respect and the ways individuals relate to social collectives, together with issues such as welfare reform, same-sex marriage and drug treatment of pregnant women. One of the aims of this volume is to energize thinking in those areas where women and men are deprived of social justice. The collection draws upon ideas from both Anglo-American and Continental philosophers, including Seyla Benhabib, Johshua Cohen, Luce Irigaray, Susan Okin, William Galston, Simone de Beauvoir and Michel Foucault.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In all of these essays, Young makes political theory into 'the art of the possible'. It is her great strength as a theorist that she is able to identify issues in both academic literature and the public mind that philosophers have construed too narrowly, or failed to address altogether. . . . Young is undoubtedly one of the more intelligently radical philosophers writing in the US. -- Philosophy in Review

From the Back Cover
"In political theory today, feminist theory is the area most alive with innovative and exciting work, and Iris Marion Young is one of the leading contributors to this development. In these essays, she shows how a feminist perspective can awaken us to new issues and transform familiar questions in both political theory and practical politics."--Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto
