Editorial Reviews

"The book offers solid scholarship in support of its aims It is a judiciously-chosen sampling of scholarship that does not lose sight of Nietzsche's 'masks of coarseness and...brutality' while welcoming a new awareness of 'subtle features of his thought' that contribute constructively to feminism and political theory."
-"New Nietzsche Studies
""Nietzsche, Feminism and Political Theory is a provocative collection of essays which revolves around teh intersection of Nietzsche with modern philosophy so-called "postmodern" readings of Nietzsche, and questions about "the feminine," feminism and power.."
-International Studies in Philosophy, 1997
"An important contribution to scholarship on the relationship between Nietzsche's writings and feminist and political theory . . . This collection contains a broad range of exciting essays that are sure to be influential across disciplinary boundaries. I am especially excited by the incisive work on the relationship between feminism and Nietzsche studies."
-Kelly Oliver, University of Texas, Austin
