Focusing on the similarities and differences of three political philosophies - liberalism, feminism and anarchism - by critically examining the liberal feminist writings of John Stuart Mill, Betty Friedan, Simone de Beauvoir and Janet Radcliffe alongside the anarcho-feminism of Emma Goldman, THE POLITICS OF INDIVIDUALISM offers a close investigation of the issues of employment, education, marriage, family and government politics. Finally, feminism as a whole is subjected to a rigorous critique in terms of its overall liberating potential, emerging in a compelling look at "what ought to be - and what could be."

"Brown argues for a new vision of human freedom." - Peace News "An eloquent exploration of the philosophical territory encompassing anarchist, feminist and liberal though...provides a mind-tingling analysis of individualist philosophies." - Kitchener-Waterloo Record "A brisk, neatly argued book tat carves out a compelling version of feminist anarchism." - Literary Review of Canada
