Gender and Citizenship

Více o knize

The book explores the evolution of gender relations in nineteenth-century France through the works of influential writers like Hegel, Sand, Balzac, Comte, and Barbin. It highlights a transition from a male-centered definition of citizenship to a bi-gendered understanding, where both sexes contribute to the concept of subject-citizenship, each defined in relation to the other. Moscovici's analysis reveals how these literary figures shaped new perspectives on gendered citizenship, emphasizing the complexities of identity and social roles during this period.
