Women, gays, and the constitution : the grounds for feminism and gay rights in culture and law

Author:	David A J Richards
Publisher:	Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 1998.
Edition/Format:	Book : English
Summary:	In this David A. J. Richards combines an interpretive history of culture and law, political philosophy, and constitutional analysis to explain the background, development, and growing impact of two human rights movements: feminism and gay rights. Richards argues that both movements are extensions of rights-based dissent, rooted in antebellum abolitionist feminism that condemned both American racism and sexism. He sees the progressive role of such radical dissent as a moral voice in the American constitutional tradition. He examines the role of dissident African Americans, Jews, women, and homosexuals in forging alternative visions of rights-based democracy. He also draws attention to Walt Whitman's poetry, showing how it made space for the voices of homosexuals in public and private culture. According to Richards, contemporary feminism rediscovers and elaborates this earlier tradition. And, similarly, the movement for gay rights builds upon an interpretation of abolitionist feminism developed by Whitman in his defense, both in poetry and prose, of love between men. Richards explores Whitman's impact on pro-gay advocates, including John Addington Symonds, Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Oscar Wilde, and André Gide. He also discusses other writers and reformers such as Margaret Sanger, Franz Boas, Elizabeth Stanton, W. E. B. DuBois, and Adrienne Rich. Richards addresses controversies such as the exclusion of homosexuals from the military and from the right to marriage and concludes with a defense of the struggle for such constitutional rights in terms of the principles of rights-based feminism.--From publisher's description.  Read more...
