Feminist Philosophy

Feminist philosophy treats "what it means to be a woman" as a live philosophical question rather than a settled one, using the tools of analysis and argument to interrogate how gender shapes knowledge, work, family, the body, and the categories we think with. You'll read primary texts ranging from Woolf and Friedan to Crenshaw, Manne, Fricker, and Young, and the bulk of your work is building and defending your own arguments in writing rather than surveying positions. It sits as an upper-level elective that rewards prior exposure to ethics and political philosophy, and it sharpens a skill the rest of the major assumes: reading a contested text closely enough to say something defensible about it.
