| Description: |
An exploration of the idea that there are historical sedimentations of people into gendered categories. It argues that feminism cannot but play out the inescapable indeterminacy of "women" and that recognition of the ambiguity of women is a condition for an effective feminist political philosophy. |
| Synopsis: |
An attempt to explore the idea that there are historical sedimentations of people into gendered categories, including the asymmetrical distances of both "women" and "men" from changing ideas of the human; the increasing saturation, from the late seventeenth century, of women with their sex; and the nineteenth century elisions between "the social" and "women". It is argued that feminism cannot but play out the inescapable indeterminacy of "women" whether consciously or not, and that this is made plain in its oscillations, since the 1790s, between concepts of equality and of difference. The author maintains that a full recognition of the ambiguity of the category of "women" is not a semantic doubt, but a condition for an effective feminist political philosophy. |
