Abstract

This paper describes some of the relationship between care ethics and feminist legal theory. Feminist legal theories have been searching a basis for a non androcentric  concept of justice. One of these has been the feminist legal debate on the ethics of care and its applications to the world of women's rights. The analysis of various authors who dealt with justice and care shows the dangers of using a concept of care without an análisis  of power relations between the sexes. Moreover, non-androcentric justice requires, from a feminist perspective, including caring relationships in the field of rights.
