In this anthology of new and classic articles, fifteen noted feminist philosophers explore contemporary ethical issues that uniquely affect the lives of women. These issues in applied ethics include autonomy, responsibility, sexual harassment, women in the military, new technologies for reproduction, surrogate motherhood, pornography, abortion, nonfeminist women and others. Whether generated by old social standards or intensified by recent technology, these dilemmas all pose persistent, 'nagging,' questions that cry out for answers.

An unusually strong and fresh collection of essays, provocative, well written, varied in philosophical approach and covering an interesting array of important issues.--Judith Andre, Michigan State University
The philosophical essays collected in this volume not only offer illuminating perspectives on a variety of practical concerns, many of which are of special interest to younger women, but also provide fresh insight into such perennial philosophical issues as autonomy, choice and responsibility.--Alison M. Jaggar, University of Colorado, Boulder
. . . essays are very well chosen . . . introductory essay is very clear and very basic.--Ethics: An International Journal of Social, Political, and Legal Philosophy
Dana E. Bushnell is assistant professor of philosophy at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this anthology of new and classic articles, fifteen noted feminist philosophers explore contemporary ethical issues that uniquely affect the lives of women. These issues in applied ethics include autonomy, responsibility, sexual harassment, women in the military, new technologies for reproduction, surrogate motherhood, pornography, abortion, nonfeminist women and others. Whether generated by old social standards or intensified by recent technology, these dilemmas all pose persistent, 'nagging,' questions that cry out for answers. Unlike other anthologies in feminist ethics, this book encourages critical thinking about concrete, contemporary social and moral issues. Each engaging, clearly written article is followed by discussion questions, making the book useful for students of women's studies, philosophy, sociology, and political science.
