A feminist is a woman who does not allow anyone to think in her place.\"-from \u003ci\u003eHipparchia's Choice\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work of rare insight and irreverence, \u003ci\u003eHipparchia's Choice\u003c\/i\u003e 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), Michèle Le Doeuff shows how women philosophers can reclaim a place for feminist concerns. Is \u003ci\u003eThe Second Sex\u003c\/i\u003e a work of philosophy, and, if so, what can it teach us about the relation of philosophy to experience? Now with a new epilogue, \u003ci\u003eHipparchia's Choice\u003c\/i\u003e points the way toward a discipline that is accountable to history, feminism, and society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele Le Doeuff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231138954\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231138956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.80d","brand":"Michele Le Doeuff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334406033663,"sku":"9780231138956","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0903dcc8-a1bf-4687-bcdf-3f8f5b6c4c66.jpg?v=1731466750","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hipparchias-choice-michele-le-doeuff-9780231138956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
