The Essentialist Roots of the Public Sphere: A Feminist Critique.
Griffin, Cindy L.
Western Journal of Communication, v60 n1 p21-39 Win 1996
Explores the essentialist influences on the public sphere from a feminist perspective, suggesting that an essentialist ideology informs the public/private distinction. Argues that the public sphere is not strictly a result of historical changes or economic influences but is also dependent on an essentialist view of women and men. (PA)
