Long considered ?non-philosophical,? the letters and novels of
women like Catharine Macaulay, Mary Wollstonecraft, and George
Eliot have often been omitted from the canon of the Western
philosophical tradition. This unfortunate omission is corrected
here through Catherine Villanueva Gardner's thorough discussion of
the philosophical importance of their work. Gardner also looks
carefully at why letters and novels have been considered this way
since they are so prevalent in the work of women in general.
Gardner argues that the devaluation or exclusion of certain forms
of writing is connected to the biases that underpin the Western
ethical tradition. This book is critical reading for courses in
introductory philosophy and women's studies.
