In this major book Martha Nussbaum, one of the most innovative and
influential philosophical voices of our time, proposes a kind of
feminism that is genuinely international, argues for an ethical
underpinning to all thought about development planning and public
policy, and dramatically moves beyond the abstractions of economists
and philosophers to embed thought about justice in the concrete
reality of the struggles of poor women. Nussbaum argues that
international political and economic thought must be sensitive to
gender difference as a problem of justice, and that feminist thought
must begin to focus on the problems of women in the third world.
Taking as her point of departure the predicament of poor women in
India, she shows how philosophy should undergird basic constitutional
principles that should be respected and implemented by all
governments, and used as a comparative measure of quality of life
across nations.
