How to Think Like a Woman

An invaluable book to those who are interested in the “woman question” and the women throughout history who had important contributions to philosophy. It's earned a place on my shelf with that alone. Intertwined with the fascinating historical and biographical context of these women is Regan's own journey—this is less interesting, and the combination feels a bit meandering at times. But it's easy to sympathize and learn with her as she catalogs her own history and relationship with these women and their writing, so the lack of direction doesn't mar the work terribly much.

With a rich bibliography of so many other works I want to dig into, I'll be keeping this inspirational tome around for quite a while.
