"To be a philosopher and to be a feminist are one and the same
thing. A feminist is a woman who does not allow anyone to think in
her place."-from "Hipparchia's Choice"
A work of rare insight and irreverence, "Hipparchia's Choice"
boldly recasts the history of philosophy from the pre-Socratics to
the post-Derrideans as one of masculine texts and male problems.
The position of women, therefore, is less the result of a
hypothetical "femininity" and more the fault of exclusion by men.
Nevertheless, women have been and continue to be drawn to "the
exercise of thought." So how does a female philosopher become a
conceptually adventurous woman? Focusing on the work of Sartre and
Beauvoir (specifically, his sexism and her relation to it), Mich?le
Le Doeuff shows how women philosophers can reclaim a place for
feminist concerns. Is "The Second Sex" a work of philosophy, and,
if so, what can it teach us about the relation of philosophy to
experience? Now with a new epilogue, "Hipparchia's Choice" points
the way toward a discipline that is accountable to history,
feminism, and society.
