In Dialogue with Michèle Le Doeuff sparkles on the future possibilities of feminist philosophy. Le Doeuff’s style is delightful: witty, erudite and deflating of all pomposity. This is philosophical conversation at its most historically imaginative, political, and inclusive. A triumph of feminist thought as intellectual friendship’s equality.
