If the first part of the title hints at a sensual book written by a
young female scholar attempting to make 'male'-stream philosophy
sexy again, the second evokes the repetitious feminist claim that
women are the victims of an oppressive patriarchal structure.
However, this book is neither a feminist manifesto nor a cleverly
marketed erotic novel lacking in substance. Its aim is both more
ambitious and provocative. Drawing on the ambiguous meaning of the
notion of vulnerability, the book offers an innovative approach to
the topic of the female body in relation to women's rights; going
beyond the age-old dichotomy of casting women as either passive
victims or conscious agents. Thanks to a profound confrontation
with the works of Judith Butler and Adriana Cavarero on the concept
of vulnerability, the book offers also a unique insight into the
different feminist 'schools' to which these philosophers belong.
