History of Ideas on Woman: A Source Book

This book offers a nascent understanding of historical questions and analyses related to women. This book assays those anthropological, social, theological, psychological, biological, and ethical arguments that center around the personhood of the woman and how woman relates to society at large. This book is a must read for those who are interested in the evolution of theory and praxis related to women. In particular, the historical degradation of women by those philosophers and institutions that have supported female exclusion serve as an "entry point" for those who wish to talk about an ethic of gender justice.
