The author shows how we are told only half the story of the original contract that establishes modern patriarchy.  The sexual contract is ignored and thus men's patriarchal right over women is also glossed over.  No attention is paid to the problems that arise when women are excluded from the original contract but incorporated into the new contractual order.    One of the main targets of the book is those who try to turn contractarian theory to progressive use, and a major thesis of the book is that this is not possible.  Thus those feminists who have looked to a more \"proper\" contract- one between genuinely equal partners, or one entered into without any coercion- are misleading themselves.  In the author's words,   \"In contract theory universal freedom is always a hypothesis, a story, a political fiction.  Contract always generates political right in the forms of domination and subordination.\"  Thus the book is also aimed at mainstream political theorists, and socialist and other critics of contract theory.    The author offers a sweeping challenge to conventional understandings- of both left and right- of actual contracts in everyday life: the marriage contract, the employment contract, the prostitution contract, and the new surrogate mother contract.  By bringing a feminist perspective to bear on the contradictions and paradoxes surrounding women and contract, and the relation between the sexes, she is able to shed new light on fundamental political problems of freedom and subordination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49558865314065,"sku":"CIN0804714770G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763077157137,"sku":"CIN0804714770VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804714770.jpg?v=1751138941"},{"product_id":"contract-and-domination-book-carole-pateman-9780745640044","title":"The Contract and Domination","description":"Contract and Domination offers a bold challenge to contemporary contract theory, arguing that it should either be fundamentally rethought or abandoned altogether. Since the publication of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice, contract theory has once again become central to the Western political tradition. But gender justice is neglected and racial justice almost completely ignored.  Carole Pateman and Charles Mills's earlier books, The Sexual Contract (1988) and The Racial Contract (1997), offered devastating critiques of gender and racial domination and the contemporary contract tradition's silence on them. Both books have become classics of revisionist radical democratic political theory. Now Pateman and Mills are collaborating for the first time in an interdisciplinary volume, drawing on their insights from political science and philosophy. They are building on but going beyond their earlier work to bring the sexual and racial contracts together.     In Contract and Domination, Pateman and Mills discuss their differences about contract theory and whether it has a useful future, excavate the (white) settler contract that created new civil societies in North America and Australia, argue via a non-ideal contract for reparations to black Americans, confront the evasions of contemporary contract theorists, explore the intersections of gender and race and the global sexual-racial contract, and reply to their critics.     This iconoclastic book throws the gauntlet down to mainstream white male contract theory. It is vital reading for anyone with an interest in political theory and political philosophy, and the systems of male and racial domination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571835969809,"sku":"GOR004950827","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50138611089681,"sku":"CIN0745640044G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51006461608209,"sku":"NIN9780745640044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51905701970193,"sku":"NGR9780745640044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52478861705489,"sku":"NLS9780745640044","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52819639927057,"sku":"CIN0745640044A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53067209376017,"sku":"CIN0745640044VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53333249294609,"sku":"GOR013249266","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0745640044.jpg?v=1776334640"},{"product_id":"participation-and-democratic-theory-book-carole-pateman-9780521290043","title":"Participation and Democratic Theory","description":"Shows that current elitist theories are based on an inadequate understanding of the early writings of democratic theory and that much sociological evidence has been ignored.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49653382807825,"sku":"GOR001893991","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50430246486289,"sku":"CIN052129004XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50632643543313,"sku":"GOR004582105","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50703683977489,"sku":"CIN052129004XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003070972177,"sku":"NIN9780521290043","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51156974436625,"sku":"GOR003366379","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52331350458641,"sku":"NLS9780521290043","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/052129004X.jpg?v=1751435044"},{"product_id":"sexual-contract-book-carole-pateman-9781503608276","title":"The Sexual Contract","description":"Thirty years after its initial publication, The Sexual Contract remains a seminal work that challenges the standard view of the implications of the idea, deeply embedded in Western thought, that we should think of the state as if it were derived from an original contract. This idea lays the foundations for modern contract theory. In this book, leading feminist political theorist Carole Pateman revealed for the first time that we were only given half the story. The sexual contract that established men's patriarchal right over women has been glossed over, and no attention is paid to the problems that arise when women are excluded from the original contract but incorporated into the new contractual order.   Pateman's critique of the traditional social contract continues to be relevant to discussions about the marriage contract and the employment contract, as well as newer cases, such as the welfare contract and the environmental contract. With an updated preface by the author, this edition speaks to ever-important questions about freedom and subordination.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50237205414161,"sku":"CIN1503608271G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51031577166097,"sku":"NIN9781503608276","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1503608271.jpg?v=1757414172"},{"product_id":"disorder-of-women-book-carole-pateman-9780804717656","title":"The Disorder of Women","description":"Carole Pateman is one of the leading political theorists writing today. This wide-ranging volume brings together for the first time a selection of her work on democratic theory and feminist criticism of mainstream political theory.   The volume includes substantial discussions of problems of democracy, citizenship and the welfare state, including the largely unrecognized difficulties surrounding women's participation. The inclusion of essays from both a mainstream and feminist perspective provides concrete examples of the differences between these two approaches to democracy, to questions of consent and political obligation, and to the relationship between the private and public spheres.   This scholarly and highly challenging work will be of interest to students and researchers in political theory, political science, women's studies and sociology.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50415158558993,"sku":"CIN0804717656VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50767678406929,"sku":"GOR008728877","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007448645905,"sku":"NIN9780804717656","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53618426970385,"sku":"CIN0804717656A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804717656.jpg?v=1757415685"},{"product_id":"participation-and-democratic-theory-book-carole-pateman-9780521078566","title":"Participation and Democratic Theory","description":"Shows that current elitist theories are based on an inadequate understanding of the early writings of democratic theory and that much sociological evidence has been ignored.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51341971882257,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51341972341009,"sku":"GOR008289945","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B000J6YG82.jpg?v=1751358741"},{"product_id":"feminist-challenges-book-carole-pateman-9781138000681","title":"Feminist Challenges","description":"In Feminist Challenges, new and established scholars demonstrate the application of feminism in a range of academic disciplines including history, philosophy, politics, and sociology.
