Theories of John Locke and Gender

Abstract: ( 2.5 pp.) In John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government," (1689) he states that there may be times when it is necessary for a citizen to rebel against injustices, in other words there were times when revolution was justified. A feminist might read that same idea today and feel justified in overturning oppression. But Locke is talking about more than just that in this Second Treatise. We will look at these additional ideas and see how that might be extended into a feminist logic in spite of their historical age.
