Feminists Doing Ethics is the debut title in the new Rowman & Littlefield series, Feminist Constructions. In this thoughtful collection, contributors refashion essays from the international conference on feminist ethics, Feminist Ethics Revisited (October 1999), with an aim to critique social practice and develop an ethics of universal justice. The essays in this exciting volume explore the intricacies and impact of reasoned moral action, the virtues of character, and the empowering responsibility that morality generates. Feminists Doing Ethics brings to light concepts and ideas that are intended to extend our understanding of morality and of ourselves.
What a remarkably lively collection of essays DesAustels and Waugh have brought together in this text! Succinct and engaging, each essay provides creative new insights into feminist theorizing about ethics. This text is delightfully tantalizing, highlighting the very best of current feminist theorizing. Highly recommended. * Choice Reviews *
Feminists Doing Ethics is an outstanding collection of essays by feminist scholars that can quite effectively supplement both beginning and more advanced thinking about morality. Perhaps one of its greatest contributions tot he field is the way these authors and editors conceive of moral philosophy itself. * APA Newsletter on Feminism and Philosophy *
These exciting, cutting-edge essays reconceive issues, from struggle against multiple oppressions to responses to hate crimes in our own communities and to global humanitarian appeals to uninformed compassion for victims. An outstanding collection. Excellent teaching material and required reading for all with an interest in practical ethics. -- Claudia Card, University of Wisconsin at Madison
