Description
Drawing inspiration from the ancient philosopher Hypatia, this provocative work examines women’s intellectual freedom and their struggle for equality in a society shaped by patriarchal assumptions. Dora Russell challenges conventional ideas about education, marriage, sexuality, motherhood, and the proper limits of women’s ambitions, arguing for a fuller and more independent human life. Combining philosophical reflection with sharp social criticism, the book remains a compelling testament to the feminist debates of the early twentieth century and to the enduring connection between knowledge and liberation.
