Martha Nussbaum articulates a distinctive concept of feminism, rooted in the liberal tradition of political thought, but responsive to radical feminist critiques of that tradition. She maps out a feminism that is concerned with global justice and with the urgent needs of women who live in hunger or illiteracy, or under inherently unequal legal systems. In other chapters she discusses equal rights for lesbians and gay men, addresses the feminist concept of objectification, and argues for the importance of sympathy and mercy within a feminist conception of justice. She draws on previously published work, but this has been revised extensively for this volume.

American Political Science Review Hard-hitting, in Nussbaum's characteristic take-no-prisoners style, setting out a clear case that women endure ignominious oppression in the name of culture and religion, and that feminists and liberals alike should tolerate it no longer ... well written and an easy read ... this is a good book for those who want an introduction to, or survey of, Nussbaum's recent thinking on popular issues.

Alan Ryan, The New York Times Book Review Sex and Social Justice is highly readable, and very engaging. It is elegantly written and carefully argued.
