Check out her review of Judith Butler's _Gender Trouble_ and other books:

Martha Nussbaum, "The Professor of Parody: The hip defeatism of Judith
Butler." in The New Republic, February 22, 1999.

Her misreading of Butler, Foucault and others is disturbing. You might also
look at editorials responding to her found in The New Republic on April 19,
1998.
