Beyond Accommodation

Focusing on contemporary feminist debates, Drucilla Cornell presents a groundbreaking perspective on feminist theory in this new edition. She critiques essentialist views of feminine sexuality, arguing that affirming women's value through traditional roles restricts their true sexual difference. Instead of empowering women, such approaches reinforce gender hierarchies and masculine fantasies. Cornell's work invites readers to rethink the complexities of femininity and the implications of gender constructs in society.
