Femininity and Domination by Sandra Lee Bartky

Bartky draws on the experience of daily life to unmask the many disguises by which intimations of inferiority are visited upon women. She critiques both the male bias of current theory and the debilitating dominion held by notions of "proper femininity" over women and their bodies in patriarchal culture.
Sandra Lee Bartky is one of the towering figures of second-wave feminist theory. The importance of her work, especially in feminist philosophy, but also in the wider world of women's studies and feminist thought, cannot be exaggerated. She is an influential teacher, speaker, and activist, and the author of Femininity and Domination: Studies in the Phenomenology of Oppression. Bartky is professor of philosophy and women's studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
