Carole Pateman on Public Sphere - Dictionary of Arguments

Gaus I 283
Public Sphere/Pateman/Mottier: Pateman argues that it is important to reconceptualize the division between the private and the public sphere and to raise questions about the implications of that division for democratic theory. >Privacy/Pateman.
In her view, it is impossible to democratize the public sphere whether through equality of chances as promoted by liberalism or through participative citizenship which includes all citizens — without a radical transformation of the links between men and women in the private sphere. 'Democratic ideals and politics have to be put into practice in the kitchen, the nursery and the bedroom,' Pateman writes (1989(1): 382).
