Toward a Feminist Theory of the State

<i>Toward a Feminist Theory of the State</i> presents Catharine MacKinnon's powerful analysis of politics sexuality and the law from the perspective of women. Using the debate over Marxism and feminism as a point of departure MacKinnon develops a theory of gender centered on sexual subordination and applies it to the state. The result is an informed and compelling critique of inequality and a transformative vision of a direction for social change.
