This volume of essays covers the conjunction of two topics - feminism and families - that, for all their centrality in our culture, have not been adequately examined in light of one another. While the family has suffered feminist neglect, most women "are" in fact members of families, living their lives within the social context of families, even at a time when the concept of "family" has become bewilderingly unstable. The intersection of families and feminism is thus in need of philosophical reflection, as a basis both for good public policy and for the ethical relationships of intimate life.
