Very Intellectual

I bought this book because I liked the title and the author's name sounded romantic but I have to admit, the content was at times a bit over my head. By the time I was done reading I hadn't figured out quite if feminist philosophy really was philosophy or not. I think I will have to read it again. However, I did think that it was quite an interesting assortment of essays and one I am proud to have on my shelf.
