Document Summary
*watch first 20 minutes for exam prep info* Tend to be quite political, tend to look at social divisions. Distinctly concerned with the question of the exclusion of women. Many different types of feminism, marxist form, radical form, etc. Tend to share both a critical and normative project. Looking for a way to open up the political realm, and trying to normatively change that. To understand how we can recraft citizenship in order to include women. Is it possible to address exclusion with women, or is it already fundamentally built on the exclusion of women in the political sphere. Fundamental liberal division of private and public is a problem. The idea is that there are waves and surges that break out and roll back in a sense. Part of this wave of feminism thought to give us language of equal rights. What"s also under attack is the sexism in much softer systemic forms in the workplace, for example.
