Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- CHAPTER ONE. Political Theory as a Signifying Practice -- CHAPTER TWO. "Une Maitresse Imperieuse": Woman in Rousseau's Semiotic Republic -- CHAPTER THREE. The "Furies of Hell": Woman in Burke's "French Revolution" -- CHAPTER FOUR. The "Innocent Magdalen": Woman in Mill's Symbolic Economy -- CHAPTER FIVE. Resignifying the Woman Question in Political Theory -- Notes -- Index
Summary: Woman has been defined in classic political theory as elusive yet dangerous, by her nature fundamentally destructive to public life. In the view of Linda M. G. Zerilli, however, gender relations shape the very grammar of citizenship. In deeply textured interpretations of Rousseau, Burke, and Mill, Zerilli recasts our understanding of woman as the agent of social chaos and makes a major advance for feminist political theory.
