, 2023 Although Early Modern male philosophers arguably moved away from virtue ethics toward theories of obligation, it is less clearly true of women philosophers of that period.

In this chapter, I examine the effects consent has on our moral obligations. In particular, I address three questions: (1) Whose obligations are affected by a person’s consent? It is uncontroversial that consent changes the normative situation of the agent to whom it is given. But can it also create a new obligation for the person giving it?
