Thompson, Norma
The Ship of State

Statecraft and Politics from Ancient Greece to Democratic America.

Although most critics view the Western tradition as a progression away from misogyny and toward rights for women, Thompson contends that the need for balance in the political community was well understood in earlier eras. Only now has it been almost entirely overlooked in our focus on surface indications of strict gender equality. Thompson argues that political rhetoric must once again promote the reconciliation of masculine and feminine forces in order to achieve effective politics and statecraft. 243 Seiten, gebunden (Yale University Press 2001) textsauberes Exemplar mit leichten Gebrauchsspuren, leicht berieben/clean text pages, minor traces of use, slightly rubbed
