Abstract

All stripes of feminism endorse the following claim: that gender inequality damages women’s interests, and is unjust. Should this damage be understood in terms of thwarted well-being? If so, what conception of well-being best enables us to both articulate how gender inequality damages women’s well-being, and to ground social critique of existing inequalities? Do feminists need to make recourse to the notion of well-being at all to articulate the wrongs of gender inequality?
