Review Quotes:
"William James has often been praised for highlighting the more 'feminine' dimensions of philosophy, while being criticized for ignoring important 'feminist' considerations. The present volume focuses on and highlights this conundrum, and it does so in a rich and informative manner. James's many contributions are acknowledged, but his work is viewed, and elaborated upon, from a broader perspective of feminism."
--William Gavin, University of Southern Maine
