Resignifying the Woman Question in Political Theory --; Notes --; Index; restricted access N2 - 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 UR - https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501711312 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781501711312 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781501711312/original ER -
