Concept information

Preferred term

feminist political theory  

Definition(s)

  • Feminist political theory involves distinctive modes of critique engaging both the classic texts in Western political theory and the inequitable and unjust conditions of women's existence. Investigating androcentric bias in key concepts and practices such as freedom, justice, order, sovereignty, autonomy, democracy, liberalism, nationalism, the state, war, and peace, feminist political theory seeks to illuminate the barriers and constraints that circumscribe women's lives, explain their dynamics and persistence, and identify mechanisms for change.
