In what might seem an unusual pairing, Elizabeth Bartlett brings together the insights of Albert Camus and feminist thought, and in so doing sheds new light on both. Looking through a Camusian lens, Bartlett reveals a "rebellious feminism" that simultaneously refuses oppression and affirms human dignity in solidarity with concrete, diverse others and the earth, giving us new insights into this life-affirming ethic.
