The Blackwell Guide to Feminist Philosophy Reviews

"...I commend this collection as philosophically sophisticated and a useful resource..." Simon Blackburn, Times Higher Education Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2007 "This is a very useful resource for those who want to know the current thinking of feminist philosophers on major topics in philosophy in general and in feminist philosophy. It consists of a collection of articles, all of uniformly high caliber, each of which functions as an up-to-date literature review of a topic... The authors' openness to the roots of their discipline and their knowledge of the ways that women have expanded that discipline make this book an excellent guide to contemporary feminism...Highly Recommended." CHOICE "Linda Alcoff and Eva Feder Kittay have been there from the beginning of feminist philosophy in the 1970s! Their judicious organization of ideas in the field will be of great use to both novices and established scholars." Iris Marion Young, University of Chicago "This is a terrific volume; inclusive, balanced, yet with a point of view - or, fittingly, with multiple points of view. Accessibly written by leading scholars, these articles contain something for everyone." Alison M. Jaggar, University of Colorado at Boulder "The 15 essays in this admirably professional collection cover much territory ... I commend this collection as philosophically sophisticated and a useful resource." Simon Blackburn, Cambridge University
