This book focuses on some English-speaking women philosophers who have been major actors since the 20 th  century in the field of practical philosophy, namely political and social philosophy, feminist approaches to philosophy, moral psychology, the theory of action and ethics. The book explores topics linked to the main aspects of the thought of those philosophers, i.e. Elizabeth Anscombe, Judith Butler, Philippa Foot, Nancy Fraser, Carol Gilligan and Martha Nussbaum.  Six women French commentators have written a chapter on each of those women anglo-american philosophers, creating a dialogue as they  think   with   them , elaborating their own positions in their respective fields.
