- Description
- This collection of essays examines the partners' lives and experiences associated with nine different political thinkers. It explores the gendered patterns of intellectual labor that flow through the foundations of Western political thought. The book represents three historical eras of political thought (ancient, early modern and modern era). In nine chapters it explores the everyday activities of intellectual labor and partnership involving: Xanthippe (Socrates), Pythias and Herpyllis (Aristotle), Barbera Salutati (Machiavelli), Thérèse Levasseur (Rousseau), Mary and Betty Clarke and Lady Damaris Masham (Locke), Jeanne de Lartigue (De Montesquieu), Mary Mottley (De Tocqueville), Harriet Taylor Mill (Stuart Mill) and Jenny Marx, Helene Demuth, Mary and Lydia Burns (Marx and Engels). These stories reveal these women labored in remarkable ways, but remained in the shadow of the history of political thought.
