ABSTRACT

For some feminists, liberalism is little more than patriarchy in disguise; for others, it is the framework for securing justice. Feminism, like all other positions in political philosophy, is a range of views rather than a single determinate viewpoint. One aspect of this range is that feminism includes both academics and activists, for whom the term “liberalism” can signify rather different things; after all, liberalism is not one single thing either.
