Abstract

This work is both a synthesis and an analysis of the theoretical problems surrounding the public-private dichotomy in liberal feminist theory. A synthesis of several prominent critiques of the said division, this work ultimately traces the roots of the theoretical problems to the emulation of the patriarchal, liberal public-private dichotomy by the liberal feminist theory. This, and the failure to establish comprehensive descriptions of its essential principles such as voluntariness with regards to its being feminist in principle, feature liberal feminism as a paradoxical nomenclature for a feminist theory. The identification of the liberal feminist's lapse in theory-establishment as the primary cause of the aforementioned emulation and the elaboration on the seemingly abridged versions of various critiques and the interrelation of the propositions in them, all served for the development of the analytic function of this study.
