As one reads the classic works of political philosophy one is
limited to books written by male authors. When reading
interpretations of these authors it seems that the male
philosophers were only concerned with the male citizen. Arlene
Saxonhouse argues that these classic authors, from Plato to
Machiavelli, while they praised the world of male public action,
also recognized that the public world was not the totality of human
existence. These authors, Saxonhouse says, saw that a private
sphere which included women existed, and that that sphere set
limits upon and defined the possibilities of the public world. She
argues further that the authors did not ignore the female, rather
it is the inadequacies of modern scholarship that have made them
appear to have done so. This volume shows how women have been an
integral part of political philosophers' vision of the world, not a
scattered side show in certain philosophical works.
