Features: The series "Political and Legal Philosophy" and "University Library," which selects and edits classic, important works, textbooks, and collections of contemporary political and legal philosophy. It focuses on representative schools of contemporary Western thought, enabling Chinese readers to gain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the overall picture of contemporary political and legal thought. It also includes influential representative works in the fields of politics, society, and law. When conditions are ripe, some works introducing and reviewing representative Chinese political and legal philosophy will be launched. Feminism, feminist movements, and feminist thought have been fresh developments in the field of Western intellectual and cultural discourse in recent decades, even being discussed by some as a trend. However, what these trends, critiques, and movements encompass is far more than disputes over terminology, concepts, and terms—it is a serious struggle over rights. For this reason, we have specially selected this work, which provides a relatively accessible and comprehensive introduction and discussion of the relationship between feminism and politics and political science, for readers to consult. The female perspective is a distinctive feature of this book. The author starts from the concrete realities of women's lives and analyzes every corner of our familiar political, social, and cultural lives, showing that to varying degrees, they are dominated by men. The field of sports is even more entrenched in this dominance. Thus, the author issues a stark warning to the world: human liberation is a challenging and long-term systematic project. When addressing social injustices caused by differences in race, ethnicity, class, and status, do not overlook social injustices based on gender differences. The true liberation of women is equally a long and arduous task.
