New Book on Women and Republicanism

Edited by Sandrine Bergès & Alan Coffee

Just out on Oxford Academic Online and in print in March or June (depending where you are in the world), this book features eleven chapters on women political philosophers who engaged with republican thought from the 18th to the early 20th century, in Brazil, Britain, France, Italy, Turkey, and the US.

Abstract

The aim of this volume is both to introduce readers to the deep, varied, and theoretically rich history of women writing within the republican political tradition, and to produce cutting-edge research on the philosophical contribution that women have made. The authors discuss not only women philosophers whose Republican credentials are already well established, such as Catharine Macaulay and Mary Wollstonecraft, but also include many lesser known republicans, including from nations and traditions that have been underrepresented or wholly excluded by mainstream and Anglo-American republican writing (e.g. Brazilian, Turkish, Italian, African American women), covering a large period from the eighteenth to early twentieth centuries.
