I removed this stub text:

Nancy Hartsock was a feminist philosopher who argued strongly for a gender division based on labor roles. Women, due to their physiological makeup, were prone to be "penetrated" and were more submissive than men, thus making them well suited for house work. This is an approach to women's oppression based on a concept of gender essentialism.

I am not familiar with all of Hartsock's work, but this text makes it sound like she is in favor of submissive women! FreplySpang (talk) 21:51, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

First woman hired by UMich?

I'm having trouble understanding the paragraph that begins "Hartsock was the first woman to be hired by the University of Michigan...", since according to [1], the first female member of faculty was hired in the 19th C.

Should it read "...Michigan's department of political science..."? Should it be deleted?

I have deleted this text as (although often stated) it is clearly untrue. Leaving aside nineteenth-century examples, in 1957 the position of Alice Freeman Palmer Professor of History chair was awarded to Caroline Robbins, its first recipient. In 1924 George Palmer had donated $35,000 to establish the chair, "the holder of which shall always be a woman." The chair stood vacant from 1924 to 1957. If she was the first woman in Pol Sci that would be interesting, but is not recorded in the history of the Pol Sci department on the web. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8012:345D:0:281E:67DE:6C45:8472 (talk) 16:50, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
