I love this book so much! The format is really good for connecting the reader to each different philosopher and Penaluna gives us so much context and the discussions of the views of the women after was also helpful. It's so wonderful to be reminded that even when their lives are erased, women throughout time mattered and influenced the world. 

The acknowledgement of queer women and women of color and Penalune's privilege made me feel safe enough to interact with the book and Penaluna's own perspective. And her own experience with patriarchy and how sneaky it is was so validating. 

I highly recommend this book to everyone. It's so encouraging and refreshing.
