table of contents
Selected Bibliography
This bibliography provides a selection of works pertinent to the general history of women’s political and social thought. No general history of the subject exists, but there are studies of particular periods or categories of women’s political thought, or on individual writers. Some general works on the history of women, such as those by Mary Beard and Elise Boulding, also provide valuable information on the contributions of women intellectuals.
Note that the sources and suggested readings for the individual writers and works featured in this collection are listed in the introductions to the selections throughout the volume and are not included below, except for some items of substantial breadth or general applicability.
The bibliography is divided into four sections:
1. Women writers and theorists: selected histories, criticism, and anthologies;
2. Mainstream and "malestream” political theory: texts, anthologies, and interpretation;
3. Feminist critique of mainstream and "malestream” political theory;
4. Feminist political theory: history, anthologies, and analysis.
The works included in the bibliography are intended to provide a broad perspective on the scope of women’s contributions to political and social thought and to suggest opportunities for further study. Section 1 lists mainly general works, but studies of a few individual theorists not presented in this volume are included. The titles listed in Section 2 include a substantial number of what we might call "object lessons”—works that illustrate the exclusion or distorted treatment of women’s contributions—as well as some that illustrate growing recognition of women’s political thought in some quarters of the mainstream. Works listed in Section 3 exemplify the critical approach of many feminist studies, exposing the phallocratie biases of main-stream, "malestream” political theory. Section 4 offers a small sampling of the burgeoning field of feminist political theory and its many branches, with special attention to works that may throw light on the history of women’s political and social thought.
