This is a very good collection of essays from feminist thinkers whose aim is to 'save' autonomy both from too rationalistic and individualistic liberalist theorists and from feminist or postmodernist theorists who want to do away with autonomy entirely.
They do so by giving a richer concept of agency and the self, whereby not only the rational capacities of human beings are highlighted, but also their emotions, desires, imagination, and social skills.
The introduction gives a great overview of the different autonomy theories and the position of 'relational autonomy' in that field.
