6 Nedelsky's use of childrearing as a metaphor to address the embedded individual and his or her relation to social structures can be interpreted as an earlier feminist attempt to blur this division by resorting to a gender-inflected and maternal discourse: Nedelsky, Jennifer, “Reconceiving Autonomy: Sources, Thoughts and Possibilities,” Yale Journal of Law and Feminism 1 (1989): 7–36, 12Google Scholar.
