摘要：

In this article, I ask the question: what might a feminist approach to the popular philosophy genre look like? I note some of the seminal texts in the genre of popular philosophy in recent years - particularly the work of A.C. Grayling and Alain de Botton - and demonstrate how these celebrated works fail to embody feminist principles. I then posit three recent works as possible exhibits of feminist popular philosophy: Sarah Bakewell's biography of Montaigne titled How to Live, Laura Kipnis's polemical creative non-fiction work, Against Love and Siri Hustvedt's post September 11 novel, The Sorrows of an American.
