It brings together a diverse group of scholars to critically engage with Nietzsche's use of late-19th-century gender stereotypes and the ways in which they served  his critique of values, including his use of woman as a trope for truth.  Among other subjects, the contributors consider the role of psychology in Nietzsche''s thought, his concern with style, self-creation, and advocacy of perfectionism, his views on romantic love and marriage, and his aim of revaluing all values to instigate a distant philosophy of the future. They investigate parallels between Nietzsche's thought and Shaktism, his relation to Goethe and Stendahl, and his influence on Beauvoir, Butler, and Dohm. With the inclusion of two seminal essays on Nietzsche and women by Lawrence J. Hatab and Kelly Oliver, the volume also illustrates some of the ways in whic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLike Goethe’s expression ‘the Eternal-Feminine’, Nietzsche’s status as a feminist thinker has been perceived as regressive and progressive alike. Michael J. McNeal brings together a thought-provoking set of essays that interrogate the role of the feminine in Nietzsche’s thought in a way that directly addresses our contemporary debate about gender and identity. * Paul Bishop, William Jacks Chair of Modern Languages, University of Glasgow, UK *\u003cbr\u003eHowever controversial Nietzsche’s views on the ‘feminine’ might be, few can deny his importance in identifying sexual difference as a philosophical issue. In this wide-ranging, highly stimulating collection of essays, the importance of Nietzsche as a thinker of the feminine is newly foregrounded and newly invigorated for our times. * Jill Marsden, Professor of Literature and Philosophy, The University of Bolton, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction by Michael McNeal\u003c\/b\u003e    \u003cb\u003ePart I.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e Formative Antecedents \u003c\/b\u003e  1.
