Review # 1 was written on 2012-08-18 00:00:00 Shanna Hixenbaugh Very clear concise buigraphy which took the first chapter. After that the prose beacme rather repetitive in listing her belongings etc. Very useful insight into how history treated her then and later.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-06-23 00:00:00 Daniel Halstead I have always suspected that I am missing something in the assumptions at work in the various orthodoxies of postmodernism, that "there is some enormous over-correction in the history of Western thought since roughly Marx and Nietzsche, in which all sorts of babies are being thrown out with all kinds of bath water." This book is very useful for anyone wanting to untangle this situation and know just what babies are thrown out. (quote from the author in an interview with Omair Hussain for Nonsite.org: )
