What does it mean to be a woman? Do women have a unique nature and
a unique vocation? Should feminists work to help women specifically
or to support all people? Thinking Woman examines the lives and
ideas of women in the history of philosophy who wished to
understand and advocate for themselves as women. Some, like
Hildegard of Bingen and Edith Stein, found women to be a unique
creature designed by God, necessary for good stewardship of
creation. Others, such as Mary Wollstonecraft and Sojourner Truth,
found women to be identical to men in all but biology and thus
identical before the law. Still others, from Simone de Beauvoir to
Judith Butler, found the very question troubling as they tried to
sort out cultural ideas from biological rules. These women and
their views form a canon on the question of women, a canon that can
help guide the conversation for thinkers and activists today who
want both to understand women and to advocate for justice for all
people.
