Fiona Jenkins, "Luxemburg, Weil, Arendt: Heroines for a Humanist Feminism?" (Review article of Andrea Nye, PHILOSOPHIA), Res Publica III/2 (1997), 229-237: In reviewing Nye's contribution to feminist scholarship in a humanist spirit, I argue that whilst providing a useful survey of the writings of Luxemburg, Weil and Arendt and a timely reminder of their relevance to political theory and philosophy, Nye's work is insufficiently reflective about certain fundamental feminist questions, particularly about the limitations of a feminine marginality which is here celebrated for its critical potential. e-mail: fiona.jenkins@philosophy.usyd.edu.au
