Erika Bachiochi explores the development of feminist thought in the United States. Inspired by the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, Bachiochi presents the intellectual history of a lost vision of women's rights, seamlessly weaving philosophical insight, biographical portraits, and constitutional law to showcase the once predominant view that our rights properly rest upon our concrete responsibilities to God, self, family, and community. Bachiochi proposes a philosophical and legal framework for rights that builds on the communitarian tradition of feminist thought as seen in the work of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and Jean Bethke Elshtain. Drawing on the insight of prominent figures such as Sarah Grimké, Frances Willard, Florence Kelley, Betty Friedan, Pauli Murray, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Mary Ann Glendon, this book is unique in its treatment of the moral roots of women's rights in America and its critique of the movement's current trajectory. The Rights of Women provides a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern political insight that locates the family's vital work at the very center of personal and political self-government. Bachiochi demonstrates that when rights are properly understood as a civil and political apparatus born of the natural duties we owe to one another, they make more visible our personal responsibilities and more viable our common life together. This smart and sophisticated application of Wollstonecraft's thought will serve as a guide for how we might better value the culturally essential work of the home and thereby promote authentic personal and political freedom. The Rights of Women will interest students and scholars of political theory, gender and women's studies, constitutional law, and all readers interested in women's rights.

En référence à l'œuvre de Rolande Trempé (historienne du mouvement ouvrier) ont été rassemblées des contributions d'historiens, de sociologues, de juristes, de syndicalistes et de militants. Elles traitent de cas aussi divers que la Commune de Paris, la Guerre d'Algérie, les nationalisations mexicaines, les grèves françaises de décembre 1995 Mai 68, l'expérience des Gardes rouges, les femmes dans la Résistance... Leur fil directeur est une réflexion sur les rapports entre l'action et l'écriture de l'histoire, sur les difficultés à concilier militantisme, témoignage et distanciation de l'historien.
