On the Record of Women’s Rights

Protecting women from violence and discrimination is a hot topic. The feminist movement claims to address these issues in its fight for women's rights. However, without knowing the true source for women's rights-or human rights-communities will fail to accurately diagnose the problem and effectively provide a solution. In this essay, Professor Laurie Stewart addresses the philosophical and legal foundation for human rights, and women's rights more specifically. Uniquely, Stewart provides a comparison of women's rights by worldview, answering definitively the question of who and what holds the greatest hope for women.
