Reviews for Feminist Philosophies of Life
" Feminist Philosophies of Life reveals that central ontological questions about life have significant ethico-political import that calls for robust feminist analysis. Given the many threats to both human and non-human life that plague our globe today, it is a most timely and important contribution that fulfills its call admirably." Rebecca Tuvel, Rhodes College
