In her Introduction, editor Maria Falco has done an excellent job of bringing her readers up to date on the evolving state of the feminist critiques of Machiavelli. . . . The new possibilities that \u003ci\u003eFeminist Interpretations of Nicolò Machiavelli \u003c\/i\u003ehas opened up are challenging and rewarding. Young scholars who have the mental flexibility and the time to reread, to rethink, and to reinterpret him should take full advantage of them.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Anthony Parel \u003ci\u003ePerspectives on Politics\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Falco provides a helpful introduction with a brief biography of Machiavelli and sets the context for the developing trends in feminist interpretation of Machiavelli. . . . From this volume it is clear that feminist scholars are not in accord in their view of Machiavelli, echoing other disagreements concerning his work. \u003ci\u003eFeminist Interpretations\u003c\/i\u003e provides a useful compilation of the diverse feminist approaches to Machiavelli and shows an added complexity to his thought not found in mainstream accounts. As such the volume fulfills the goal of its series in expanding our appreciation of the canon and providing an introduction to feminist readings of a major thinker.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—John M.
