Offering an internationalism informed by development economics and empirical detail, many essays take their start from the experiences of women in developing countries. Nussbaum argues for a universal account of human capacity and need, while emphasizing the essential role of knowledge of local circumstance. Further chapters take on the pursuit of social justice in the sexual sphere, exploring the issue of equal rights for lesbians and gay men. 0aFeminism. 0aSocial justice. 0aSex role.  2ddccBK  aANLcYY 305.42 N975  c200389d200389  00102ddc406305_420000000000000_NUS718NFIC9338180aDULbDULcAACd2017-05-18eGifto305.42 NUSp429649r2017-05-18t1w2017-05-18yBK
