The objective of this paper is to address the connections between citizenship and family from a Political Philosophical Feminist point of view. Assuming that gender relationships are essential to any analysis of democratic citizenship, the paper highlights the political nature of the family institution. Thus, we focus on the conflict between family and City in order to discuss the problems of women’s citizenship. We also consider the pretexts and fictions which are at work in the theoretical and historical configurations of citizenship for the exclusion/inclusion of women. We conclude with the idea that it’s necessary to rethink family and City connecting them together and politically, in the context of the new challenges of a democratic citizenship in a globalized and multicultural world.
