17Caring for Liberalism: Dependency and Liberal Political Theory (edited book)Routledge. 2021.Caring for Liberalism brings together chapters that explore how liberal political theory, in its many guises, might be modified or transformed to take the fact of dependency on board. In addressing the place of care in liberalism, this collection advances the idea that care ethics can help respond to legitimate criticisms from feminists who argue that liberalism ignores issues of race, class, and ethnicity. The chapters do not simply add care to existing liberal political frameworks; rather, the…Read more

29Substantive Equality and Equal Citizenship1Journal of Applied Philosophy 37 (5): 854-862. 2020.In Part 1, I argue that Watson and Hartley’s relational feminist political liberal approach – grounded in the idea of equal citizenship – produces a rather elusive liberal feminist agenda (because of its reliance on intuitions) and that it may lose track of the importance of goods whose value stems from the role they play in an individual woman’s or girl’s life rather than from the role they play in securing equal citizenship. I suggest that a distributive principle approach – like that of Susan…Read more

1Toward a New Feminist LiberalismDissertation, State University of New York at Stony Brook. 1997.Contributing to the debate on the compatibility of feminism and liberalism, I argue that much feminist rejection of liberalism rests on associating the latter with a number of unattractive theses that are not necessary to liberal theory. I develop a feminist liberalism and make the case that Habermas', rather than Rawls', recent work in political theory provides a theoretical basis for such a liberalism. This liberalism is sensitive in the right way to the moral-political relevance of gender dif…Read more

115Conservatism, Feminism, and Elizabeth Fox-GenoveseHypatia 24 (2). 2009.This paper is a philosophical reconstruction of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese's thinking about women and feminism, and an inquiry into whether there is a conservative form of feminism. The paper argues that Fox-Genovese's endorsement of conventional social forms (like traditional marriage, motherhood, and sexual morality) contrasts strongly with feminism's criticism of these forms, and feminism's claim that they should be transformed. The paper concludes, however, that one need not call Fox-Genovese's …Read more

258Toward a New Feminist Liberalism: Okin, Rawls, and HabermasHypatia 11 (1). 1996.While Okin's feminist appropriation of Rawls's theory of justice requires that principles of justice be applied directly to the family, Rawls seems to require only that the family be minimally just. Rawls's recent proposal dulls the critical edge of liberalism by capitulating too much to those holding sexist doctrines. Okin's proposal, however, is insufficiently flexible. An alternative account of the relation of the political and the nonpolitical is offered by Jürgen Habermas
