The Woman Question in Plato's Republic
Author: Mary Townsend
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498542700
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
In this book, Mary Townsend proposes that, contrary to the current scholarship on Plato's Republic, Socrates does not in fact set out to prove the weakness of women. Rather, she argues that close attention to the drama of the Republic reveals that Plato dramatizes the reluctance of men to allow women into the public sphere and offers a deeply aporetic vision of women’s nature and political position—a vision full of concern not only for the human community, but for the desires of women themselves.

All Bound Up Together
Author: Martha S. Jones
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807888907
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
The place of women's rights in African American public culture has been an enduring question, one that has long engaged activists, commentators, and scholars. All Bound Up Together explores the roles black women played in their communities' social movements and the consequences of elevating women into positions of visibility and leadership. Martha Jones reveals how, through the nineteenth century, the "woman question" was at the core of movements against slavery and for civil rights. Unlike white women activists, who often created their own institutions separate from men, black women, Jones explains, often organized within already existing institutions--churches, political organizations, mutual aid societies, and schools. Covering three generations of black women activists, Jones demonstrates that their approach was not unanimous or monolithic but changed over time and took a variety of forms, from a woman's right to control her body to her right to vote. Through a far-ranging look at politics, church, and social life, Jones demonstrates how women have helped shape the course of black public culture.

The Woman Question
Author: Kitty L. Kielland
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1725286904
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 87
Book Description
Kitty Kielland’s verve and confidence, scathing wit, and indignant ability (and willingness) to point out stupidity and hubris underpin her entry in the late nineteenth-century argument about “The Woman Question.” This major contribution to the expansion of women’s right in Scandinavia helped frame the discussion within church and social movements throughout Europe and North America. The Woman Question remains significant today for its framing of discussions about gender and equality as both a fundamental human right and a necessary component of any Christian social policy. Ultimately, Kielland’s summary of her position, justified by the Bible and her life experiences, remains both compelling in its own right and a devastating rebuke to all those who would claim an authority to speak for others: “My argument is that every free person wants to have a personal, independent identity, and I do not see why we should not have the right to want it.” This edition is the first translation into English of Kitty Kielland’s The Woman Question.
