After much hoo-hah in the media and in schools, feminist ideology has been added back in to the proposed new A-level Politics syllabus, following a debate in the Commons last Monday. The final syllabus should include thinkers such as Mary Wollstonecraft, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt and Rosa Luxemburg.
