Research & Scholarship: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article presents a case for human rights feminism as providing us with an effective, but too often under-recognized model for achieving equality in our society. From out the context of recent feminism, with specific focus on Judith Butler, the author argues that the move to universal human rights is compatible with the critical tradition of identity politics as a means of realizing the goal of gender equality.
