In
this major book, the author, one of the most innovative
and influential philosophical voices of our time,
proposes a new kind of feminism that is genuinely
international. She argues for an ethical underpinning
to all thought about development planning and public
policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions
of economists and philosophers to embed thought
about justice in the concrete reality of the struggle
of poor women. |
