Alex lives a good life with her four brothers in a village in the Highlands. So when her four brothers inform her they are sending her to London to find a good husband, Alex is heartbroken and feels betrayed. Yet, she is determined to find out everything she can about the English people. She turns to Tristan to be her tutor, despite not seeing him in years. The sweet and caring boy he once was has been replaced with a cold and unapproachable man. At first Tristan tries to resist Alex and her ridiculous idea, but she is persistent, so he has no choice but to help. He only means to teach her about the life in England, and proper behavior but soon there is nothing proper in his lessons as he realizes he can't fight his attraction to her, and she, herself, is a more than willing pupil. During this journey, Alex finds that Tristan has so much to learn about love and caring, but will she be able to teach him to trust people again? Will he be able to love her?

Intersecting Voices

Dilemmas of Gender, Political Philosophy, and Policy

By: Iris Marion Young

Iris Marion Young is known for her ability to connect theory to public policy and practical politics in ways easily understood by a wide range of readers. This collection of essays, which extends her work on feminist theory, explores questions such as the meaning of moral respect and the ways individuals relate to social collectives, together with timely issues like welfare reform, same-sex marriage, and drug treatment for pregnant women. One of the many goals of Intersecting Voices is to energize thinking in those areas where women and men are still deprived of social justice. Essays on the social theory of groups, communication across difference, alternative principles for family law, exclusion of single mothers from full citizenship, and the ambiguous value of home lead to questions important for rethinking policy. How can women be conceptualized as a single social collective when there are so many differences among them? What spaces of discourse are required for the full inclusion of women and cultural minorities in public discussion? Can the conceptual and practical link between self-sufficiency and citizenship that continues to relegate some people to second-class status be broken? How could legal institutions be formed to recognize the actual plurality of family forms? In formulating such questions and the answers to them, Young draws upon ideas from both Anglo-American and Continental philosophers, including Seyla Benhabib, Joshua Cohen, Luce Irigaray, Susan Okin, William Galston, Simone de Beauvoir, and Michel Foucault.
