Feminist Perspectives on the Right to Justice and Equality: A Comparison of Conservative and Other Feminist Approaches

With regard to “the right to justice and equality,” how does Kersten see “conservative” feminist as different from “other” feminists

Kersten sees the “conservative” feminist seeing individuals as having the right to justice and equality and the “other” feminists seeing groups as having the right to justice and equality.

In her book “Feminist Interpretations of Mary Wollstonecraft,” Lisa Maria Kersten discusses the concept of “the right to justice and equality” and how different feminist perspectives approach it. She argues that “conservative” feminists approach this right differently than “other” feminists.

According to Kersten, “conservative” feminists prioritize the idea of justice and equality within existing societal structures. They believe in maintaining traditional institutions and norms, but call for greater equality and representation for women within them. For example, a “conservative” feminist may argue for greater representation of women within the existing political and economic systems, and for policies that promote equal pay and equal opportunities for women within these systems.

In contrast, other feminist perspectives advocate for more radical change, such as the dismantling of traditional societal structures that perpetuate gender inequality. These feminists may call for more radical changes to the political and economic systems themselves, or they may focus on promoting alternative models of society that challenge gender norms and hierarchies.

Overall, while “conservative” feminist perspectives prioritize the importance of justice and equality, they differ from other feminist perspectives in their approach to achieving these goals.
