- Description
- Explores the significance of dependency work and care. By analyzing John Rawls' liberal theory and examples of public policy in the United States, the author aims to show how both theory and policy fail women when they miss the centrality of dependency to questions of justice. Contemporary ideas of equality are critically examined. The author argues that for a truly inclusive feminism it is essential to acknowledge human dependency and its consequences.
