This work provides a reflection upon the key issues in political theory and advocates a feminist intervention into the arena of citizenship, including liberty, rights, social equality, political identity, political representation and political judgement. The author develops a feminist notion of citizenship by discussing theories and sub-themes of citizenship and identifying rudimentary feminist theories of citizenship. Voet emphasizes that feminist theory should reflect more seriously on citizenship.

`By insisting on a productive conjuncture between feminism and citizenship, Rian Voet reinvigorates the classical political conception of citizenship as participation in public and social life - a conception of active citizenship that is both sex-equal and woman-friendly. This is a lucid, persuasive and accessible study' - Anna Yeatman, Macquarie University
