Beyond the Margins: Reflections of a Feminist Philosopher (Suny Series, Feminist Philosophy)
$23.95
Linda Bell's book divides, not so neatly, into two broad sections: a biographical exploration of her life (a coming-of-age and awareness) and the philosophical issues that have given meaning to the life she describes in honest and open reflection.

A feminist, who learned first-hand what sexism was in the halls of the academy, Bell's writing indicates that to think, to explore one's life in a disciplined fashion, can take one far from the environment in which one was raised, educated, and employed. In fact, a thoughtful consideration of the issues Bell raises are not only appropriate for those who consider themselves "philosophers", but are topics all humans should deal with in our ever more complex society.

Well done.

Rediscovering Women Philosophers: Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy (Feminist Theory and Politics)
$85.00
This book examines the philosophical foremothers of women's philosophy and explores what their work may have to offer modern theorizing in feminist ethics. Through such writers as Catharine Macaulay, Mary Wollstonecraft, and George Eliot, Gardner interprets a varied selection of moral philosophers in an attempt both to contribute to our understanding of their work, and perhaps even to encourage other philosophers to interpretive work of their own. She also looks into the reasons such forms as novels, letters, and poetry have often been assigned non-philosophical status, while they seem to be prevalent in the work of women philosophers from the history of philosophy.
