Customer Reviews

Good broad overview of subject matter.

Used in my Social/Political Science class in college, it gives a great variety of exposure to many various philosophers. Then, after each is the feminist perspective in modern context. It's a great source for broad brush exposure, but for more thorough reading, I would go elsewhere. I did keep the book though, makes a good reference once in a while.
