Re-Reading the Canon

Feminist Interpretations of Mary Daly

Plot

Presenting a re-reading of Mary Daly's published works, this open-ended anthology seeks to deauthorize the official canon of Western philosophy and refute the claim by some feminists that Daly's work is unworthy of further analysis because it contains fatal errors.
