A holistically Deweyan feminism

The argument that a holistic analysis of Dewey's work, drawing not only on the major portions subject to extensive commentary (such as Experience and Nature) but also on his aesthetics, provides fuel for feminist theorizing i s sustained by advertence to the standard commentary and also to new work i n aesthetic feminism itself. Sleeper, Rorty, Hickman and Russell are cited, and the recent resurgence of interest in developing the intersection betwe en analytic aesthetics and feminist aesthetics is alluded to. It is conclud ed that the enterprising feminist theorist may suffer from an embarrassment of riches in attempting to approach Dewey but that such an approach is wel l worth the effort.
