Women and Republicanism

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.
