Description
Summary:In "Against Marriage and Motherhood," Claudia Card discusses recent attempts by some lesbian feminists to extend lesbian and gay rights to include legal rights of marriage and motherhood, noting that marriage and motherhood as currently practiced and conceptualized in Northern legal institutions continue to be problematic for feminists in general and lesbian feminists in particular. Jeffrey Foss responds to yet another attempt to locate sexual difference in the realm of nature in his "Is There a Natural Sexual Inequality of Intellect? A Reply to Kimura." Articles by Lynn Morgan, Jennifer Radden, and Richard Kyte discuss problems that arise from the application of feminist attempts to reconceptualize the self as at least partly constituted by its relations with others.
