Feminist Ethics provides an overview of feminist contributions to normative ethics, moral psychology, and metaethics. It argues that through their criticisms of traditional ethics and proposals for changes, feminists are advancing 'robust agency,' an account of ideal moral and rational agency that promises to give us better responses than those given in traditional ethics to problems in ethics, including how we know our duties, the kind of persons we should strive to become, and why we should act morally.

The feminist conception of discourse offered below differs from classical discourse ethics. Arguing that inequalities of power are even more conspicuous in global than in local contexts, I note that a global discourse community seems to be emerging among feminists, and I explore the role played by small communities in feminism's attempts to reconcile a commitment to open discussion, on the one hand, with a recognition of the realities of power inequalities, on the other.

'An Invitation to Feminist Ethics' is a hospitable approach to the study of feminist moral theory and practice. Designed to be small enough to be used as a supplement to other works, it also provides the theoretical depth necessary for stand-alone use in courses in feminist ethics, feminist philosophy, women's studies, or other courses where feminism is studied. The overviews section surveys feminist ethical theory and the close-ups section looks at three topics - bioethics, violence, and the globalized economy - that help students to put the theories presented in the overviews section to good use.
