Description
This collection of fifteen essays examines the relationship between sexuality, gender, and social justice, bringing philosophical inquiry to the urgent realities of women’s lives. Drawing on classical thinkers including Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, it offers a thoughtful account of ancient debates about homosexuality while connecting them to contemporary questions of equality and human flourishing. With particular attention to women facing poverty, hunger, illiteracy, and discriminatory legal systems, the book presents a feminism grounded in capability, dignity, and practical reform. Clear, rigorous, and wide-ranging, it demonstrates how philosophical reflection can illuminate the persistent struggles surrounding sex and justice.
