</P><BLOCKQUOTE><I>"One of the strengths of </I>Presenting Women Philosophers<i> is the way that it integrates accounts of women's lives with their work, while providing well-thought-out assessments of that work. Another is that it develops and analyzes work that simply is not otherwise available.... [This book] examines the writings of women philosophers in a way that no other book to my knowledge does, and it is thematically well-integrated."</I>
<br>—<b>Charlene Haddock Seigfried</b>, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue University<I></I></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Western philosophy has long excluded the work of women thinkers from their canon. <I>Presenting Women Philosophers</I> addresses this exclusion by examining the breadth of women's contributions to Western thought over some 900 years. Editors Cecile T. Tougas and Sara Ebenreck have gathered essays and other writings that reflect women's deep engagement with the meaning of individual experience as well as the continuity of their philosophical concerns and practices. Arranged thematically, the collection ranges across eras and literary genres as it emphasizes the intellectual significance of written work by key figures—for example, Hildegard of Bingen's visionary writings, Iris Murdoch's fiction, Hannah Arendt's historical narratives, and the oral storytelling in black women's literary tradition. The collection also brings to light the philosophical importance of little-known work by such writers as Mme de Sabl� and Mme de Condorcet. This wide-ranging collection offers non-philosophers an introduction to women's thought but also promises to engage advanced students of philosophy with new research on unrecognized contributions.

</p><p>The accelerated growth of interdisciplinary programs is just one indicator of the radical changes that have occurred within the academy during the past thirty years. Women's studies, peace studies, disability studies, environmental studies, queer studies, postcolonial studies, gender studies, ethnic studies (together and separately), cultural studies, and many more, have become established sites of inquiry. Much is owed to past generations of writers and thinkers whose voices were silenced, only now to be welcomed by academia. Considering this shifting of borders and expansion of domains, books in <I>The New Academy</I>, a series edited by Elizabeth Kamarck Minnich, explore conceptual tools developed by recent scholarship to extend, reconfigure, and comment upon intersections and divisions among established and emerging fields of academic study. Moving beyond rhetoric and jargon, the series engages the growing readership for critical and creative, inclusive and reconciling scholarship.</p>
