How can we live together without subordination and oppression? What does it mean to treat each other as free and equal persons? This book uses contemporary feminist insights to examine aspects of the classic social contractarians' arguments, concentrating upon the work of Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Rousseau and Kant. It also looks at the points at issue between feminist political theorists and considers the usefulness of contractarian arguments for feminist politics today, along with the relationship between their political, legal and moral analyses.
