Description

For years, mainstream feminist ethics focused criticism on male supremacy.

Feminist philosophers in this volume adopt a less male-focused stance to look closely at oppression's impact on women's agency and on women's relations with women.

Examining legal, social, and physical relationships, these philosophers confront moral ambiguity, moral compromise, and complicity in perpetuating oppression.

Combining personal experience with philosophical inquiry, they vividly portray their daily engagement with oppression as both victims and perpetrators.

They explore such issues as how pornography silences women and radical feminist politics' complicity in racism.

Among these insightful essays, Sandra Bartky argues that women share guilt for racism when they benefit from it without protest; Susan Brison reflects on uses of narrative in trauma recovery from such experiences as being targeted for rape or murder; Joan Callahan examines fallout of derogatory speech directed at lesbians; Virginia Held proposes carrying care into marketplaces and governments; and, in her introduction, Claudia Card draws on Primo Levi's conception of gray zones in exploring dangers of character damage to victims of misogyny.

A fitting companion to Card's highly regarded Feminist Ethics, this volume interweaves observations on character, political ethics, violence, and love into an accessible sourcebook for students.

It tackles some of feminism's most pressing issues and helps readers to identify and then overcome the real damage caused by oppression.
