PREFACE
The idea for an anthology of feminist critical readings in Plato and Aristotle was inspired by my teaching and by my students, especially by Cathy Martin. Following some work Cathy did with me in a course about the history of ancient Greek philosophy at the end of the 1988 spring semester, she told me how upset she was about the history of philosophy curriculum since it was not relevant enough to her life as a woman, let alone a black woman. Cathy did not object to studying the canonical philosophers, but what she wanted most was to (1) examine their views about women; and (2) look at other views and analyze them in relation to views about women.
