Reviews
"Okin has written an engaging, serious, careful, and important work that raises the issues of women and politics in their most elemental and pertinent form... A pioneering book."--Benjamin R. Barber, New Republic "A brilliant, clear, sustained drive through the murky history of men's ideas about what they wished women to do into the terra incognita of what women can be... [A] major contribution to political thought."--Christina Robb, Boston Globe "Excellent... Given the generations of scholars who have ignored the obvious, Okin's contribution is tantamount to the child declaring the emperor to be without clothes. Her language is calm, clear, simple, and strong."--Vivian Gornick, Washington Post "Okin's impressive book makes clear that whatever we may have been taught, we cannot read the great political theorists as though 'mankind' means all of us."--Nannerl Keohane, Ethics
