Véronique Mottier on Feminism - Dictionary of Arguments

Gaus I 277
Feminism/Mottier: Early feminist perspectives within political science have tended to focus primarily on issues such as gender differentials in political representation and participation. Feminist critiques of mainstream political theory have been slower to develop. This could be explained by the dominance of universalistic liberal thought, especially within the Anglo-
Saxon, German and French traditions, which leaves little theoretical space for the conceptualization of identity differences. The past two decades however have seen the development of an extensive feminist perspective within political theory, which has set
out to rethink fundamental issues such as the nature of power, the boundaries of the political, and the democratization of citizenship and the public sphere.
