Feminist Engagements in Democratic Theory
Radical Civic Virtue: Women in 19th-Century Civil Society
This article contests the conservative revisionism that emphasizes the importance of traditional families, pietistic religion, individual moral virtue, and small government for undergirding democratic self-government. The first part exposes the conservative misreading of American history and political theory. The second part uses the civic engagement of middle- and upper-class women in 19th-century America to construct a progressive alternative t…
The Citizen-Soldier and the Tragedy of The Eighteenth Brumaire
A Strange Drift to the Right: The Civic Historiography of Michael Sandel
Michael Sandel's Democracy's Discontent strives to contribute to the project of "democratic theory," which aims to bring people together across ideological differences.

I…
Citizen-Soldiers and Manly Warriors: Military Service and Gender in the Civic Republican Tradition
What happens in a tradition that links citizenship with soldiering when women become citizens? Citizen Soldiers and Manly Warriors provides an in-depth analysis of the theory and practice of the citizen-soldier in historical context.
