Reviews

This text illuminates the truth that the 'mainstream' of intellectual thought is only one of the streams . It broadens and deepens the philosophical canon of North America by introducing women and diversity hitherto neglected and importantly provides the possibility for the current canon to become more comprehensive and more accurate as a reflection of the philosophical thinking in the early American Idealist movement. * Therese Boos Dykeman, Independent Scholar of Fairfield, USA, and author of American Women Philosophers 1650- 1930: Six Exemplary Thinkers * Rogers' book is, among other things, a provocative and compelling attempt to answer the question 'Who can be called a philosopher?' Through the lives of these women she charts a close connection between genre and opportunity, specialism and exclusion. In doing so she challenges those of use who seek to 'diversify the cannon' to reflect more deeply on what philosophy is and can be, and what the life of a practicing philosopher might look like. * Rachael Wiseman, Lecturer in Philosophy, University of Liverpool, UK *
