Hypatia}}}s Daughters 1500 Years of Women Philosophers [Paperback]

I think many people would find it a useful resource, both in terms of information on particular philosophers and as a point of inspiration for designing courses that incorporate the work of women philosophers.... I expect I will refer individual students to this book as a resource for their own work and I will consult it in designing future courses. Teaching Philosophy

With intelligence and agility, the writers [present] female thinkers who influenced the famous (male) philosophers of their respective ages. This should become a standard text in both philosophy and womens studies classes and will have great appeal to lay readers as well. Highly recommended. Library Journal
