     "This volume shows the range and sophistication in arguments feminist philosophers have made about the connections and tensions between ideals of justice and care. By collecting in one place some of the most important contributions to this discussion, Justice and Care brings this conversation to a new stage of conceptualizing the mutual conditioning of these ideals." — Iris Young, University of Pittsburgh.

     "The title says it all. These are the essential readings in feminist ethics, now collected in a single volume. This book is ideal for courses as well as for pondering the effects of gender inequality on our very capacity to think about morality." — Nancy Fraser, New School for Social Research.

     This compact anthology traces the exploration of the relationship between the ideals of justice and care—a discussion at the core of contemporary feminist ethics. In addition to compiling the most influential previously published work, Justice and Care offers two important new chapters by Alison Jaggar and Sara Ruddick.
