This paper is an attempt to examine John Rawls’s works A Theory of Justice and Political Liberalism from a gendered perspective. His theory of justice and political conception of justice have been very influential in the contemporary social and political discourses. However, I found his principles of justice and the notion of original position to be inadequate in doing justice to the question of gender inequality. In this paper I will also assess Susan Okin’s account of Rawls’s position.
