This volume covers all the issues central to political theory, including Mary Astell's writings on religion, social contract, marriage, and the state Mary Wollstonecraft's concerns about citizenship, class structure, and inequality; and Mercy Otis Warren's dispute between republicanism and federalism. By invoking both classical and contemporary theory, this collection allows an investigation of both traditional and feminist concepts such as rights, citizenship, the public/private distinction, state-of-nature theory, the family, community, democracy, conservatism and liberalism, oppression, and exploitation.
