Susan Moller Okin  

Definition

  • Susan Moller Okin (1946–2004) was a feminist and political theorist who brought to bear the importance of the family on twentieth-century dialogues of justice. In criticizing contemporary theories of justice as overly focused on gender neutrality, she highlighted a neglected dimension of private life—namely, the domestic role of women—that must be attended to in order to establish a form of liberalism that truly included all of society's members.
