Article Summary
Susan Moller Okin was a liberal theorist whose feminist perspective challenged contemporary liberal theory’s complacency about gender and the family. She insisted that liberalism, properly understood as a theory opposed to social hierarchies and supportive of individual freedom and equality, must provide the tools for criticizing the substantial inequalities between men and women in contemporary societies.
