Cambridge University Press has made free four of its six books on the subject. Unfortunately the one of probably greatest interest to most of you, Early Christian Women, is not one of the four (though you can still buy a print copy, they are quite expensive). You can get a book on Pythagorean philosophers who were women, however, as a free download. If you've enjoyed the ancient philosophy commentaries here, you may well like learning about these thinkers.
The others may also be of interest especially to the feminists among you, but they are outside my area so I can't offer any useful remarks: mostly for being too contemporary, but one for being a Korean Neo-Confucian of whom I admit I've never heard before this morning.
Speaking of women - I realize it's been a while since I've been a regular here, but does Cassandra maintain an on-line presence these days?
ReplyDeleteShe has not been around in quite a while, Ron. But she knows the way, and that she's always welcome.
ReplyDelete$20 is a better price than I had feared for the print edition. Cambridge tends to be more reasonable than Oxford University Press, for university press pricing levels. (Which is d*mning with faint praise, given the cost of some books, I know.)
