Offers a case study of the Council on the Status of Women at Purdue U (West Lafayette, IN) as a compound feminist organization: one that combines elements of more than one pure feminist practice. Several aspects of the group's structure, goals, & strategies that can usefully be understood as compound are outlined. Discussion includes possible causes of inattention to compounds, organizational & political advantages & disadvantages of compounds, & theoretical implications of a compound's ability to negotiate across feminist frameworks. 30 References.

We argue that Rousseau's defense of the sex‐roled family is not based on biological determinism or simple misogyny. Rather, his advocacy of sexual differentiation is based on his understanding of its ability to bring individuals outside of themselves into interdependent communities, and thus to counter natural independence, self'absorption and asociality, as well as social competitiveness and egoism. This political defense of the sex‐roled family needs more critique by feminists.
