This book explores the historical roots of some of feminism's central concepts and debates, examining the philosophical conditions for feminist thought and taking as its point of departure the dynamic relationship between feminist thought and the history of philosophy. With close attention to the genealogy of key concepts such as equality, sex\/gender and di?erence, alongside discussions of contemporary gender equality policy and contextual understandings of central ?gures including Wollstonecraft, Beauvoir and Irigaray, \u003ci\u003eThe Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an analysis of feminism from its origins in the Early Modern period to its contemporary, post-modern forms.

A genealogy is not necessarily progressive or linear, even though it is chronological, which is also pointed out in the book … Owesen presents her findings in a credible way.

In light of this, Ingeborg W. Owesen's \u003ci\u003eThe Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking. Feminist Thought as Historical Present\u003c\/i\u003e is an important and timely intervention. I only wish this short book could be twice as long, though this is something one rarely asks for in academic contexts. Owesen’s prose is clear and well formulated, and the questions she raises are so important and comprehensive, and the thinkers she addresses so interesting and complex, that they deserved a longer book.’ - \u003ci\u003eCathrine Holst, AGORA – Journal for metafysisk spekulasjon (Journal of Metaphysical Speculation)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘It is no less than a pure refreshment to read Ingeborg W. Owesen's \u003ci\u003eThe Genealogy of Modern Feminist Thinking\u003c\/i\u003e. The main reason for this is that the questions the book addresses, or invites us to address, are more complex than the answers it is possible to give in roughly 90 pages. The most interesting of these questions need not even have anything to do with feminism, but seems at first glance to be about who or what should be included in the philosophical canon.’ - \u003ci\u003eThor Inge Rørvik, AGORA – Journal for metafysisk spekulasjon (Journal of Metaphysical Speculation)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction 1.
