'LIBERAL FEMINISM' in legal theory (Susan Moller Okin, Martha Nussbaum) advocates:

1. LIBERAL FEMINISM is the oldest strand of feminist legal theory, drawing on liberal political theory. 2. KEY ARGUMENTS: 3. (i) FORMAL EQUALITY — women and men should be treated EQUALLY under law; 4. (ii) REMOVING LEGAL BARRIERS to women's participation in public sphere; 5. (iii) GENDER-NEUTRAL LAWS where possible; 6. (iv) Choice and autonomy for women. 7. KEY THINKERS: 8. (i) Susan Moller OKIN — 'Justice, Gender and the Family' (1989); critique of Rawls' gender-blind original position; 9. (ii) Martha NUSSBAUM — capabilities approach to gender; 10. (iii) Mary Wollstonecraft, John Stuart Mill — historical precursors. 11. CONTRAST with DOMINANCE FEMINISM (Catharine MacKinnon): substantive power asymmetry; CULTURAL FEMINISM (Carol Gilligan): different voice; POSTMODERN FEMINISM: gender constructed. 12. INDIAN INFLUENCE: Vishaka guidelines; Mohini Jain on equal education; Indra Sawhney on reservations. 13. Hence option B is correct. _Source: Legal Research Methodology + Jurisprudence — Liberal Feminist Legal Theory; Susan Moller Okin 'Justice, Gender and the Family' (1989); Martha Nussbaum 'Sex and Social Justice' (1999)_
