Více o knize

Using a poststructuralist lens, Claudia Leeb examines the assumptions surrounding the working class and specifically working-class women in the works of influential political philosophers like Plato, Marx, and Bourdieu. She argues that philosophical discourses categorize these women as the Other, reinforcing their marginalization in academic settings. Through interviews with working-class women in elite New York City institutions, Leeb highlights their resilience and potential to challenge class and gender norms, revealing the complexities of their experiences and identities.
