Nancy Hartsock

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nancy Hartsock (born 1943) is a feminist philosopher. She is known for her work in feminist epistemology and standpoint theory, especially the essay "The Feminist Standpoint",^[1] which also integrates Melanie Klein's theories on psychoanalysis and the Oedipal crisis. Her standpoint theory derives from Marxism, which claims that the proletariat has a distinctive perspective on social relations and that only this perspective reveals the truth. She draws an analogy between the industrial labor of the proletariat and the domestic labor of women to show that women can also have a distinctive standpoint.

Hartsock is currently a professor of political science at the University of Washington.^[2]
