The Concept of Woman, Volume 3

Philosophy

“A masterful culmination of Sister Prudence Allen's groundbreaking study of the concept of woman in the history of Western philosophy. This final volume is a rich, multilayered work that explores the increasingly contentious issues of sex and gender from a wide range of illuminating perspectives. Allen continues to reward readers with the fruits of her painstaking research and insightful analysis, painting a sweeping, vivid picture of the currents and crosscurrents of arguments made by the most important (yet often unheralded) philosophers writing after 1500.”
