{"product_id":"red-virgin-stephanie-strickland-9780299139940","title":"Red Virgin: A Poem of Simone Weil Volume 1993","description":"Classmate of Simone de Beauvoir, acquaintance of Trotsky, Spanish Civil War revolutionary, fighter in de Gaulle's French Resistance, Simone Weil (1909-1943) has also been called the greatest woman philosopher in the Western tradition.\u003cbr\u003e In this fiftieth anniversary year of her death, Simone Weil's life still raises questions. Early in this century three brilliant contemporaries in Paris--Weil, de Beauvoir, and Gertrude Stein--reinvented the female intellect. Of the three, only Weil chose to base her thought on the trauma that war, rape, slavery, and bias inflict.\u003cbr\u003e Weil was never deceived by the glamor of power, committing herself to resisting force in whatever guise. More prophet than saint, more wise woman than either, she bore a particular perception of the body, throwing hers against the same issues women battle today: hunger, violence, exclusion, betrayal of the body, inability to be heard, and self hate. Simone Weil belongs to a world culture, still to be formed, where the voices of multiple classes, castes, races, genders, ethnicities, nationalities, and religions can be respected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephanie Strickland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299139948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299139940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.09w x 0.33d","brand":"Stephanie Strickland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057297387775,"sku":"9780299139940","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d04049c2-2a1f-47fe-be1f-5eac46262611.jpg?v=1685046161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/red-virgin-stephanie-strickland-9780299139940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
