Looking at the female and male halves of the world equally transforms everything--and Toward a Feminist Theory of the State makes that clear with scholarship, courage, and wit. By exposing and correcting the patriarchal values underlying nationalism and justice, Catharine MacKinnon causes an earthquake of thinking that rearranges every part of our intellectual landscape. This book is a "must read." -- Gloria Steinem
Catharine A. MacKinnon is Elizabeth A. Long Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School and the James Barr Ames Visiting Professor of Law (Long-Term) at Harvard Law School.
Looking at the female and male halves of the world equally
transforms everything—and Toward a Feminist Theory of the State
makes that clear with scholarship, courage, and wit. By exposing
and correcting the patriarchal values underlying nationalism and
justice, Catharine MacKinnon causes an earthquake of thinking that
rearranges every part of our intellectual landscape. This book is a
‘must read.’
*Gloria Steinem*
The single most important book in the new jurisprudence… It is, in
my opinion, the only book in legal theory produced in the twentieth
century which can rank with H. L. A. Hart’s The Concept of Law
(1961). Both change the framework arid transform the paradigm of
the theoretical debate. All discourse within the framework of
liberal legal theory has had to place itself in relationship to the
ideas and theories of Hart. All feminist legal theory, likewise,
must place itself in reference to the writings of MacKinnon. Her
work, however, is much more significant than that of Hart, because
her perspective has the potential of social revolution.
*Canadian Bar Review*
[MacKinnon] convincingly links sexuality and violence. But what I
value in this book is the leap of faith to a search for practical
remedies for women’s situation.
