This course introduces important and diverse contributions by women to political theory. New lines of research have demonstrated the many and complex ways women have contributed to political reflection. While most of the key texts we explore come from the Western tradition, the course also includes examples of Asian contributions to this global tradition and gives an opportunity for students themselves to give a presentation on authors from their own cultural traditions.
