"Erika Bachiochi offers an original look at the development of feminism in the United
States, advancing a vision of rights that rests upon our responsibilities to others.
In The Rights of Women, Erika Bachiochi explores the development of feminist thought
in the United States. Inspired by the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, Bachiochi presents
the intellectual history of a lost vision of women's rights, seamlessly weaving philosophical
insight, biographical portraits, and constitutional law to showcase the once predominant
view that our rights properly rest upon our concrete responsibilities to God, self,
family, and community. Bachiochi proposes a philosophical and legal framework for
rights that builds on the communitarian tradition of feminist thought as seen in the
work of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Drawing on the insight of
prominent figures such as Sarah Grimké, Frances Willard, Florence Kelley, Betty Friedan,
Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Mary Ann Glendon, this book is unique in its
treatment of the moral roots of women's rights in America and its critique of the
movement's current trajectory. The Rights of Women provides a synthesis of ancient
wisdom and modern political insight that locates the family's vital work at the very
center of personal and political self-government. Bachiochi demonstrates that when
rights are properly understood as a civil and political apparatus born of the natural
duties we owe to one another, they make more visible our personal responsibilities
and more viable our common life together. This smart and sophisticated application
of Wollstonecraft's thought will serve as a guide for how we might better value the
culturally essential work of the home and thereby promote authentic personal and political
freedom. The Rights of Women will interest students and scholars of political theory,
gender and women's studies, constitutional law, and all readers interested in women's
rights"
