Reviews
'Jill Marshall's book is an important contribution to the revival of a sympathetic feminist engagement with liberal theory...Drawing on an impressive range of sources, Marshall puts the case for a liberal individualism which places the social construction of personhood and autonomy at its core...Marshall's cogent synthesis of existing arguments brings a fresh impetus to the important field of feminist legal and political theory. It deserves to find an appreciative audience.' Nicola Lacey, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK (from the Foreword) 'Jill Marshall begins her authoritative book with the ever intriguing question from Robin West "What is a human being?" (p. 1). She goes on to answer it through her engagement with an impressive range of sources and scholars to conclude, hopefully, that "The only way to change ideas of the possible is to think th eimpossible, dream and form ideas and mobilize those into concrete changes."...having read her compelling book and embraced her theoretical stance, I echo her hope...'
