Resentment and the Feminine in Nietzsche s Politico-Aesthetics is stimulating, challenging, and an immense joy to read. Paul Kingsburgy, Feminism and Philosophy

Picart's book is a sustained and consistent treatment of resentment targeted at Nietzsche himself, using his own genealogical method. Well informed by feminist theory and recent scholarship in political philosophy, while at the same time appropriately attentive to the artistic dimensions of Nietzsche's thought and arguably all thought as it purports to deal with the question of the feminine, it is one of the most scathing critiques of Nietzsche to emerge in the decade of the 1990s, and all the more scathing insofar as it reveals a genuine knack for turning the thoughts of the master over and against him. I expect that readers of Nietzsche will find much to admire and to question in this bold book, and it is not otherwise with Nietzsche's writings themselves. -Andrian Del Caro, Journal of Nietzsche Studies Resentment and the Feminine in Nietzsche's Politico-Aesthetics is stimulating, challenging, and an immense joy to read. -Paul Kingsburgy, Feminism and Philosophy A significant contribution to both Nietzsche scholarship and feminist theory, Picart's well-written book insightfully shows how Nietzsche's myths of femininity are central to his political philosophy. Her treatment of the evolution of Nietzsche's ideas is especially impressive. -Kelly Oliver, SUNY, Stony Brook
