Within the realm of contemporary feminist theory, there exists a prevailing tendency to either overlook or disregard its own historical roots, perceiving itself as predominantly focused on the present. This captivating book delves into the historical origins of some of the fundamental concepts and debates within feminism, examining the philosophical foundations upon which feminist thought thrives and taking as its starting point the dynamic interplay between feminist thought and the history of philosophy. Through meticulous attention to the genealogies of key notions such as equality, sex/gender, and difference, alongside engaging discussions of contemporary gender equality policies and contextual interpretations of prominent figures including Wollstonecraft, Beauvoir, and Irigaray, The Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking offers a comprehensive analysis of feminism, spanning its early modern origins to its contemporary, post-modern manifestations. By shedding light on feminism as a product of modernity and establishing its rightful place within the canon of European intellectual development, this book rectifies the misconception of feminism as a phenomenon devoid of historical continuity, unveiling a rich history marked by ruptures, setbacks, and moments of forgetfulness, wherein the act of forgetting itself becomes an integral part of a intricate genealogy. As such, this book appeals to philosophers, sociologists, political theorists, and intellectual historians alike, offering a profound exploration of feminism's historical trajectory and its enduring significance in shaping our understanding of gender and society.
