Reviews

Like Goethe's expression 'the Eternal-Feminine', Nietzsche's status as a feminist thinker has been perceived as regressive and progressive alike. Michael J. McNeal brings together a thought-provoking set of essays that interrogate the role of the feminine in Nietzsche's thought in a way that directly addresses our contemporary debate about gender and identity. * Paul Bishop, William Jacks Chair of Modern Languages, University of Glasgow, UK *
