Anti-Essentialism in Practice: Carol Gilligan and Feminist Philosophy
Hypatia 12 (3):142 - 163 (1997)
| Abstract | Third wave anti-essentialist critique has too often been used to dismiss second wave feminist projects. I examine claims that Carol Gilligan's work is "essentialist," and argue that her recent research requires this criticism be rethought. Anti-essentialist feminist method should consist in attention to the relations of power that construct accounts of gendered identity in the course of different forms of empirical enquiry, not in rejecting any general claim about women or girls | |||||||||
