The position of women, therefore, is less the result of a hypothetical “femininity” and more the fault of exclusion by men. Nevertheless, women have been and continue to be drawn to “the exercise of thought.” So how does a female philosopher become a conceptually adventurous woman? Focusing on the work of Sartre and Beauvoir (specifically, his sexism and her relation to it), Michèle Le Doeuff shows how women philosophers can reclaim a place for feminist concerns. Is *The Second Sex* a work of philosophy, and if so, what can it teach us about the relation of philosophy to experience? Now with a new epilogue, *Hipparchia’s Choice* points the way toward a discipline that is accountable to history, feminism, and society. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IH PENTZ BOOKSELLERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46714703872162,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/71-Yo8hrrUL._SY342.jpg?v=1774875809","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/hipparchias-choice-an-essay-concerning-women-philosophy-etc","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
