An Invitation to Feminist Ethics Test Bank, 11th Edition by Margaret Urban Walker

Feminist Ethics for Contemporary Society

Feminist ethics addresses how power, through gender, affects moral practice and theory. This enterprise is more important than ever before in an age of sharpened attention and concern for feminist issues and injustices.

Understanding Key Concepts

• Intersectionality: the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender
• Gender Neutrality: the absence of gendered language and assumptions
• Androcentrism: the male-centered perspective in ethics and moral theory

Survey of Feminist Ethical Theory

The work surveys feminist ethical theory, beginning with an explanation of ethics, feminism, and gender before discussing the concepts of discrimination, oppression, gender neutrality, and androcentrism.

Exploring Intersectionality and Microaggressions

The work further discusses in-depth intersectionality and microagressions before examining personal identities and how identities are vulnerable to oppression, and what can be done about it.
