The roots of philosophical misogyny in the writings of thinkers from the ancient Greeks through the modern age are exposed and explored in this collection. Beverley Clack questions whether the wisdom of these philosophers can be separated from the misogyny, and whether feminists should seek an alternative to the Western philosophical canon. This collection offers chronological evidence of how the great male thinkers debated the question of woman, provides and introduction of each thinker. Articles and essays look at the images of women in porn and in the media and how these images help create and support an atmosphere where violence against women, especially rape, is a common occurrence.
Submissions are welcome.
