Susan Warren

A real life quest for the disappeared wise women of human history

Revisado: 01-29-25

There was nothing I disliked about this book. It cracked the world of feminist philosophy, and philosophy in general, wide open for me. It made me value my own feminine nature and thinking more. It made me feel more confident in my natural thought processes. The image on the cover was uncomfortable to look at while reading the book. (I read the hardcopy in tandem with listening to the audio book). Seeing a woman with a smothering blanket over her head while reading a book was uncomfortable at times. As I learned of important female thinkers throughout history and how their stories were buried, the image choice seemed apt. By the end of the book, I could picture the woman on the cover unraveling that smothering blanket, standing up, being proud and rightfully taking her equal power and place in history. I appreciated the personal narrative woven into the history of philosophy. It was relatable and made the headiness of philosophical theories more relevant and accessible, Thank you Regan Penaluna for opening my eyes to the rich world of the thinking mind and all of the players in it. I am inspired to go now and proudly take my place in history as well.
