This volume collects some of today's most original and important work at the intersection of feminism and political theory.  A representative and wide-ranging set of readings on feminist political thought, the authors provide large-scale critiques, and in some instances reconstructions, of important strains in  political thought, including notions of equality, rights-based justice, and contract theories.  The  fourteen essays are organized around four major themes:  "The Question of a Different Voice: Care, Justice, and Rights," "Equality and Inequality in Politics and Elsewhere," "Coercion versus Consent, Public versus Private, and Sexuality," and "Trust and Responsibility."
