Justice, Gender, and the Family

Susan Moller Okin

Co-winner of the American Political Science Association's 1990 Victoria Schuck Award, given for the best book(s) published in 1989 on women and politics, this is the first feminist critique of modern political theory that in shows why and how in order to include all of us, theories of justice need to apply their standards to the family itself."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

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

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