Feminist theory has revealed the distance between normative discourses about equality and day-to-day interactions, highlighting the existence of numerous enclaves in which inequality is reproduced, most particularly the consideration of the other as inferior in status and rights. In fact, feminism has made a particular contribution to the development of autonomy with mutual recognition, emphasizing both the processes whereby autonomy is acquired and developed and the circumstances of oppression and domination apparent in the social relationships enshrined both by institutions and by intrafamily ties. At the same time, feminist thinking has indissolubly conjoined the ideas of equality and liberty, distribution and recognition as principles and objects of development.
