xiii, 352 Pages
A pivotal figure in critical theory and modern/postmod debates, Hegel is the subject of differing feminist critiques.

Holland, Nancy J. (ed) - FEMINIST INTERPRETATIONS OF JACQUES DERRIDA(Pennsylvania State University Press , 1997)
xii, 249 Pages
Much contemp feminist thought continues to see itself as freeing women from patriarchal oppression so that they may realize their own inner truth. To be told by postmodernists like Derrida that the very possibility of such a truth must be submitted to the process of deconstruction thus seeme to present a serious challlenge to the femist project. From a postmod perspective, however, most feminist discourse remains deeply rooted, if not in essentialism, at least in the logocentrism of trad philos thought. This takes a deeper look at Derrida`s work to consider its specific strengths and weaknesses as a model for feminist thought and practice. (View image)

Leon, Celine & Sylvia Walsh (eds.) - FEMINIST INTERPRETATIONS OF SOREN KIERKEGAARD(Pennsylvania State University Press , 1997)
xviii, 347 Pages
Kierkegaard explored many issues of interest to feminist theorists today and does so in a style - labyrinthine, many-voiced, multilayered, adverse to authority that adumbrates `ecriture feminine`. This volume probes whether Kierkegaard`s writings are misogynist, ambivalent or essentialist in their views of woman and the feminine or whether they are liberatory and empowering for feminists trying to free themselves from patriarchal constructs.
