Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Nineteen academics contributed to this volume, which, for the first time, provides a sustained overview of the roles women have held in the development of classic Western philosophy. With intelligence and agility, the writers-who include Andrea Nye (Philosophy and Feminism, LJ 7/95), Ursule Molinaro (Power Dreamers, LJ 12/94), and Linda Lopez McAlister, editor of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy)-present Hypatia, Hildegard of Bingen, Princess Elisabeth, Sor Juana, Mary Wollstonecraft, Hannah Arendt, Angela Davis, and a dozen other female thinkers who influenced the famous (male) philosophers of their respective ages. This should become a standard text in both philosophy and women's studies classes and will have great appeal to lay readers as well. Highly recommended.
