Description
(Same as POLS 6510.) This course is divided into three sections. The first is an overview of the treatment of women in Western political thought. The second is an analysis of five strands of feminist thinking: liberal, Marxist, socialist, radical, and postmodern. The third is a more detailed look at a few particular authors, including de Beauvoir, Gilligan, hooks, and MacKinnon.
