This text inquires as to the possibility of developing a theory that is both contractarian and feminist in light of the philosophy of Jean Hampton. It reveals how Hamptons thought begins with this focus and leads to the formulation of a highly original normative proposal. Marras shows that by establishing a dialogue between seemingly distant positions, Hampton?s theory?certainly not aligned with mainstream perspectives?emerges as a unique contribution to gender studies, and carries a strong innovative charge capable of revitalizing feminist philosophy. Marras reconstructs the theoretical framework of Hampton and situates her work within the broader debates of research on gender equity and private justice. This book appeals to students and researchers working on feminism and political philosophy.
