The volume opens with three of the early “classic” feminist essays on Locke and follows them with reflective essays by their original authors that engage Locke with issues of globalization and international justice. Other essays examine Locke’s midwifery notes, his treatise on education, his writings on Christianity, his contributions to poor-law policy, his economic writings, and his Essay Concerning Human Understanding. In addition to essays by leading feminist theorists, the volume also includes essays by some leading Locke scholars for whom gender is not normally a primary focus, so that the volume should speak to a wide range of scholarly interests and concerns.

Besides the editors, the contributors are Teresa Brennan, Melissa Butler, Terrell Carver, Carole Pateman, Carol Pech, Gordon Schochet, Mary Lyndon Shanley, Jeremy Waldron, Joanne Wright, and Linda Zerilli.

Reviews for Feminist Interpretations of John Locke
“As a whole, this volume provides a challenging and engaging contribution to current debates regarding the adequacy of liberal egalitarianism for radical social and political reform. These are “hot button” issues in feminist scholarship, which makes this volume valuable not only to advancing Locke scholarship but for feminist scholarship as well.”—Patricia Sheridan, Dialogue
