I read excerpts from this book for a Feminist philosophy class I took last semester at Mount Holyoke College. Now I am taking a class with professor Spelman and she is enthusiastic and wonderful and absolutely fascinating. I highly recommend her writings. Although I can't give much than a surface review of this book as I've only read a couple of essays from it, but I highly recommend you look into it. That class blew me away because it was my first REAL encounter with feminism. It is so wonderful to be exposed to this stuff. In fact, it's essential. As a woman it spoke to me, but I still wish there were more male feminists out there. Feminism needs to lose its bad rap and men need to realize it's a humanist way of being.
