Small personal library mark and name on free endpaper. ‘We have much to learn from N. (…) I have grave doubts about the way in which N. interprets the texts with which she has chosen to work – and in so highly exegetical a book that is obviously a serious flaw. But many readers will, I suspect, be more sympathetic to N.’s hermeneutics; and my criticisms should not obscure the fact that I found much to admire in her exegeses, and much to profit from. For all its faults, this is a splendid book – clever, learned and wise. It is also, despite its complexity, extremely lucid. I commend it, therefore, not unreservedly, but warmly and without hsesitation.’ (Malcolm Heath in The Classical Review (New Series), 1987, p.47).

Martha Nussbaum in these essays articulates a distinctive conception of feminism, one rooted in the liberal tradition of political thought but responsive to radical feminist critiques of this tradition. The book charts a feminism that is deeply concerned with global justice and with the urgent needs of women who live in hunger and illiteracy, or under inherently unequal legal systems. Nussbaum contends that the liberal tradition holds rich resources for addressing these problems provided it transforms itself by responsiveness to feminist arguments concerning the social shaping of preferences and institutions. Nussbaum also takes on the pursuit of social justice in the sexual sphere, dedicating several chapters to the issue of equal rights for lesbians and gay men. Further chapters consider the feminist concept of objectification and argue for the importance of sympathy and mercy within a feminist conception of justice. Clear, timely, and accessible, these essays, extensively revised where previously published, make available to a wide audience the incisive political reflections of one of our most important living philosophers.
