Reproducing The World: Essays In Feminist Theory

Published after her death, this collection of essays provides a glimpse into the breadth of the work of feminist philosopher Mary O'Brien. The anthology is divided into three sections: "Feminist Theory" analyzes the significance of women's role as the source of life; "The Critique of Patriarchy" offers counterarguments to male philosophers and authors such as Machiavelli, Milton and Hegel; and "Women, Health, and Education" discusses the political concerns of medicine and schooling.
