2.0 out of 5 stars there is a gaping hole in this book..., October 10, 2001
This review is from: Hypatia's Daughters: 1500 Years of Women Philosophers (A Hypatia Book) (Paperback)
I checked Hypatia's Daughters out of the library some time ago. Philosophy is a semi-hobby of mine and I thought it was great that there was a survey of women in philosophy. This is until I went through the table of contents and index and found that Ayn Rand isn't even mentioned, not once. I'm not an objectivist by any stretch of the imagination, but Ayn Rand is the single most influential female philosopher of at least the last few hundred years. Love or or hate her, she is definitely more influential than Angela Davis, who gets a chapter of her own. I don't know what other female philosophers have been edited out of existence, but this book is not what it claims to be.
