Feminhm has focused our aittention on gender coflicts; but paradoxically, it has long embraced the ideal of an egalitarian and peaceful social onder. Three theories are plumbed for their contributions to this ideal: the social construction perpective, the theory of gender differences, and the theoretical dmmand for epistemological revision. Among those theorists given sustained attention are Peter Berger and Thomas Luckmann, Gerda Lerner Carol Gilligan, and Susan Griffin. The relevance of numerous feminist ideas to other areas of conflict resolution is noied.
