520    From a bold new voice in nonfiction, an exhilarating 
       account of the lives and works of influential 17th and 
       18th century feminist philosophers Mary Wollstonecraft and
       her predecessors who have been written out of history, and
       a searing look at the author's experience of patriarchy 
       and sexism in academiaAs a young woman growing up in small
       -town Iowa, Regan Penaluna daydreamed about the big 
       questions: Who are we and what is this strange world we 
       find ourselves in? In college she fell in love with 
       philosophy and chose to pursue it as an academician, the 
       first step, she believed, to becoming a self-determined 
       person living a life of the mind. What Penaluna didn't 
       realize was that the Western philosophical canon taught in
       American universities, as well as the culture surrounding 
       it, would slowly grind her down through its misogyny, its 
       harassment, its devaluation of women and their intellect. 
       Where were the women philosophers?One day, in an obscure 
       monograph, Penaluna came across Damaris Cudworth Masham's 
       name. The daughter of philosopher Ralph Cudworth and a 
       contemporary of John Locke, Masham wrote about knowledge 
       and God, and the condition of women. Masham's work led 
       Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era
       : Mary Astell, who moved to London at age twenty-one and 
       made a living writing philosophy; Catharine Cockburn, a 
       philosopher, novelist, and playwright; and the better-
       known Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote extensively in 
       defense of women's minds. Together, these women rekindled 
       Penaluna's love of philosophy and awakened her feminist 
       consciousness.In How to Think Like a Woman, Regan Penaluna
       blends memoir, biography, and criticism to tell the 
       stories of these four women, weaving throughout an 
       alternative history of philosophy as well as her own 
       search for love and truth. Funny, honest, and wickedly 
       intelligent, this is a moving meditation on what 
       philosophy could look like if women were treated equally.
