This article reviewed the book "Two Essays on Political Philosophy of Feminism", and also overviewed the works of 3 writers of the book and its translator. The writers are feminist theatricians with radical, liberal, and social approaches to feminism, and I critically overviewed their approaches. Then I compared the feminist revision which was discussed in the second essay of the book with some samples of revisionist movements and theories in third-world and non-western communities like theories of Muhanti in India and Enloe in Malaysia. The result of this article is that even if the feminist theory of the first essay claim to pass from just-western feminist theory, ideologically is western yet, which means it believes in European- American worldview. Also, the social theory of the second essay shows the basics of social feminism in summary, yet specialized to western societies, but it can be useful to non-western societies with powerful civil societies. The methodology of this article is descriptive and uses bibliotic resources to review the book critically and see what the forte and poverty of the book's essays. My purpose is to find accessibility, correctness, and incorrectness of the discussion of the book and its writes claims about women and feminism.
