 Charlotte Witt offers an account of gender in her recent book, The Metaphysics of Gender (2011c) that draws on Aristotle as well as feminist theory. The chief aim of Witt’s account is to give a metaphysics of gender that can elucidate the centrality of gender in our lived experience and she develops a framework to make sense of that centrality. Her claim is that as a matter of fact, in western late-capitalist societies like the United States, gender is uniessential to social individuals. Let us flesh this out (here we draw on Ásta Sveinsdóttir 2012).
