Throwing Like a Girl - And Other Essays in Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory

Informationen zum Autor Iris Marion Young Klappentext Feminist social theory and female body experience are the twin themes of Iris Marion Young's twelve outstanding essays written over the past decade and brought together here. Her contributions to social theory raise critical questions about women and citizenship, the relations of capitalism and women's oppression, and the differences between a feminist theory that emphasizes women's difference and one that assumes a gender-neutral humanity. Loosely following a phenomenological method of description, Young's essays on female embodiment discuss female movement, pregnancy, clothing, and the breasted body. In an introduction that situates her work in the context of shifts in feminist theory and politics over the past decade, Young emphasizes the rootedness of her theorizing in a dedicated and seasoned political activism. Zusammenfassung Contains essays that feature feminist social theory and female body experience. This book discusses female movement, pregnancy, clothing, and the breasted body.
