Saving Public Higher Education: Voices from the Wasteland
Invisible Women in America’s National Pastime . . . or, “She’s Good. It’s History, Man.”
American popular culture holds that girls do not play baseball, and any news to the contrary is greeted with incredulity. But girls and women have played the national pastime since the game was first invented, in spite of the fact that softball has served as a vehicle for the most strident sex segregation in American sports. This article traces the tenacious participation of girls and women from the 19th century to the U.S. Women’s National Team.…
America's Baseball Underground
America's national pastime has long been associated with masculinity and more recently has acknowledged its problems with racial exclusivity. Yet from the time it was professionalized in the 19th century to the aftermath of the Little League Lawsuits of 1973, baseball has excluded girls and women, regarding itself as 'too strenuous' or 'too violent', in spite of American girls' and women's post-Title IX participation in other more violent contact…
Hannah Arendt and the Eichmann Controversy: Cultural Taboos Against Female Anger
This is a study of gender bias in the controversy over Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem. Arendt was excoriated by prominent members of the international Jewish community, in both Israel and New York, who accused her of public betrayal of the Jewish people when the book was published. While the controversy was infamous, it has never been regarded as gendered. This essay argues that the Jewish rage directed at Arendt was prompted at least in p…

On Needing Both Marx and Arendt: Alienation and the Flight from Inwardness
Karl Marx and Hannah Arendt were two theorists concerned with the causes of modern misery. Both utilize a theory of alienation as an explanation for that misery. The Human Conditioni is the work in which Arendt most directly confronts what she regards as flaws in Marx's thinking. Although the book is generally regarded as Arendt's most important theoretical contribution, her theory of alienation is seldom taken seriously as central to her politic…
Toward a Feminist Epistemology

It criticizes contemporary feminist theory that identifies all with a point of view and explores the possibility of as a methodology that saves without the traditional empiricist pitfalls. section addresses contemporary feminist efforts to collapse the border between subjectivity and objectivity, to dismiss objectivity altogether, or to create a universe with border…
Saving Objectivity for Feminism: MacKinnon, Marx, and Other Possibilities
The article argues that feminist theory needs a concept of objectivity as part of its working epistemology. “Objectivity” is not, as has been argued by some contemporary feminists, inevitably a “dichotomist male epistemological construct,” leading to psychological distance and the hierarchies of “knower” and “known” that have victimized many groups in liberal society. The article analyzes Catherine MacKinnon's critique of “objectivity” as one of …
Mill'sThe Subjection of Women: The Methodological Limits of Liberal Feminism
John Stuart Mill's commitment to empirically based inductive logic shapes the political substance of his theory, limiting his ability effectively to make the argument he wishes to make.The Subjection of Womenis presented as a test case in which Mill wishes to argue for the justice and utility of the emancipation of women. His efforts are thwarted by his inability to argue from anything but an empirical basis, grounding his evidence in historical …
