In a world in which philosophy is not only sexist in underestimating women's actual and potential contributions, but actively misogynistic in pushing women out of the field, we need this book. How to Think Like a Woman is at once a deeply personal and philosophically riveting meditation on four brilliant and inspiring female philosophers that I learned so much from. A must-read for anyone who cares about what happens to women, young and old, in this needlessly and harmfully male-dominated profession. -- Kate Manne, author of ENTITLED: How Male Privilege Hurts Women A feminist rallying cry informed by centuries of thought on the 'woman question', this elegantly written and intellectually rigorous memoir is a gift to women in male-dominated fields - and to everyone living a life of the mind while also trying to be a decent human being. -- Ada Calhoun, author of ALSO A POET How to Think Like a Woman is a fascinating and illuminating work of non-fiction by a writer of real style and critical intelligence. Regan Penaluna has created an elegant synthesis of intellectual history, memoir and feminist polemic that deserves to be widely read as a corrective to centuries of misogyny and erasure in philosophy. -- Mark O'Connell, author of TO BE A MACHINE
