Canon Fodder by Penny A Weiss
A discussion of women thinkers in political philosophy, and the nature of political inquiry.“Recognizing that women political theorists exist in gratifying abundance beginning as far back as 2300 BC.E., Penny Weiss saves these women writers from their destiny as ‘canon fodder.’ With great zest, creativity, and imagination, Weiss reintroduces us to fascinating female thinkers who have contributed to key concepts in the history of political thought. In a lively writing style that often mimics the rhetoric of each thinker, Weiss engages both students and scholars in a discussion of the compelling—but often invisible—arguments that feminist thinkers have contributed to political theory debates.”
—Lori Marso, Union College
“It is a provocative work that will lead to broad-based discussions in political science, philosophy, and women’s studies. The work’s greatest contribution is its claims for the importance of women’s political and feminist theory from the past, and what it has to teach us today.”
—Hilda Smith, University of Cincinnati
“This book should have been written long ago, and Weiss superbly delivers her subject. This engaging work should be read and discussed widely by scholars and students of political science, philosophy, and women’s studies.”
—M. Browers Choice
