In creating a conversation among pioneering feminist thinkers, who struggled to resist the demands of conventional femininity as a key component of their political activism, Lori Marso makes a critical contribution to building an imagined community of women as a strategy for continuing feminist struggles to achieve meaningful freedom. -Mary Hawkesworth, Editor of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society Creatively exploring the complexities of 'living as a woman' and 'thinking as a feminist' in the writings of Germaine de Stael, Mary Wollstonecraft, Emma Goldman, and Simone de Beauvoir, Lori Marso breathes new life into the familiar feminist slogan, 'the personal is political.' -Linda Zerilli, author of Feminism and the Abyss of Freedom ...Marso's work, in my view, exemplifies an admirable tendency in recent feminist scholarship to reconnect and engage with classical feminist authors. The author envisages her project as opening a dialogue with these feminist mothers and potentially inspiring a shared consciousness among women of different races, classes, and cultures of the role that restrictive social norms play in their lives. --Regina F. Titunik, University of Hawaii at Hilo
