New work on women thinkers often makes the point that philosophical
conceptual thought is where we find it, examples such as Simone de
Beauvoir and the nineteenth century Black American writer Anna
Julia Cooper assure us that there is ample room for the development
of philosophy in literary works but as yet there has been no single
unifying attempt to trace such projects among a variety of women
novelists. This book articulates philosophical concerns in the work
of five well known twentieth century women writers, including
writers of color. Duran traces the development of philosophical
themes - ontological, ethical and feminist - in the writings of
Margaret Drabble, Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Toni Cade
Bambara and Elena Poniatowska presenting both a general overview of
the author's work with an emphasis on traditional philosophical
questions and a detailed feminist reading of the work.
