From the rear cover
Feminism Under Fire is a truly novel approach to the feminist canon. It is an enlightening personal memoir of a female philosopher coming of age and coming to terms with feminism as it relates to university politics and teaching. It is also a milestone in philosophical scholarship as the first systematic analysis of feminist epistemology, philosophy of science, and pedagogy. In lucid and clear prose, author Ellen Klein exposes the pretensions, dogmas, and fallacies of philosophical and academic feminism. While recognizing and eschewing the rampant sexism that still permeates academia, Klein believes that the "intellectually dishonest and scandalously unscholarly" state of feminism today is even more onerous to women. She argues that the true way to feminist liberation is not to fight against the philosophical method, but to embrace it. Feminism Under Fire provides the scholarly and intellectual foundation for both the rambunctious gender politics of Camille Paglia and the sociological work of Christina Hoff Sommers.
