Whilst feminist philosophy has frequently engaged with political theory, this original book instead considers legal theory and the practical operation of law. The work considers some of the contested meanings of what it is to be a self, a person or an individual in relation to the law of obligations.

Examines aspects of the classic social contractarians' arguments, focusing upon the work of Hobbes, Spinoza, Locke, Rousseau and Kant. This volume looks at the points at issue between feminist political theorists and considers the usefulness of contractarian arguments for feminist politics.
