This essay proposes a core conception of feminism to address its marginalization in bioethics. This approach clarifies feminist debates, promotes inclusivity, and strengthens the field by integrating egalitarian principles.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Feminist Theory
  • Social Justice

Background:

  • Feminist critiques of healthcare and bioethics are sophisticated but remain marginalized.
  • Confusion about feminism and skepticism regarding persistent sexism contribute to this marginalization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To advocate for a "core" conception of feminism that is accessible and compelling.
  • To demonstrate how this core feminism can enhance feminist discourse and its integration into bioethics.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of feminist theory and its application to bioethics.
  • Argumentation for a "thin" or "core" definition of feminism.

Main Results:

  • A core feminism can foster clearer debates, recognize diverse women's experiences, and attract non-feminists.
