This posting contains some literature on feminism, which I could not
find in the FAQ reference list.  All literature was used in a course
on Feminist Philosophy, given at The University of Stockholm,
Sweden, in the fall of 1990.

Grimshaw, Jean, _Feminist_Philosophers_ (subtitle: Women's
Perspectives on Philosophical Traditions), Harvester Wheatsheaf,
London, 1986, ISBN 0-7108-0791-0.  Published in the U.S. as
_Philosophy_and_Feminist_Thinking_ by University of Minnesota Press.
	"This book is an exploration into some tensions in feminist
	thinking and their relationship to philosophy."  [from the preface]
	The book introduces feminist thinking to traditional
	philosophy, and summarizes the results.  Extensive bibliography.

Sherwin, Susan, "Philosophical Methodology and Feminist Methodology:
Are They Compatible?" in Code, Lorraine; Mullet, Sheila; Overall,
Christine, (eds.) _Feminist_Perspectives,_Philosophical_Essays_on_
_Method_And_Morals_, University of Toronto Press, Toronto, 1988.
	Susan Sherwin discusses why a paper of hers submitted to the
	Canadian Philosophical Association was rejected.  She
	concludes feminist methodology is a valid methodology for
	philosophy.

Gilligan, Carol, "Moral Orientation and Moral development" in
Kittay, Eva Feder; Meyers, Diana T., _Women_and_Moral_Theory_,
Rowman and Littlefield, Totowa, NJ, 1987.
	The article discusses the question of relationship between
	the care perspective and the rights perspective in moral
	development.  Gilligan also continues her research begun in
	_In_a_Different_Voice_.

Meyers, Diana T., "The Socialized Individual and individual
Autonomy" in Kittay, Eva Feder; Meyers, Diana T., _Women_and_
_Moral_Theory_, Rowman and Littlefield, Totowa, NJ, 1987.
	Meyers defends the position exponents of the care
	perspective can be morally autonomous.

Benhabib, Seyla, "The Generalized and Concrete Other: The
Kohlberg-Gilligan Controversy and Moral Theory" in Kittay, Eva
Feder; Meyers, Diana T., _Women_and_Moral_Theory_, Rowman and
Littlefield, Totowa, NJ, 1987.
	Seyla Benhabib suggests that a functioning ethical system
	needs to recognize both the concrete and the generalized
	other in order to function.  She uses the Kohlberg-Gilligan
	controversy as a reference in the discussion.
