Review:

"...just because Hobbes and Locke forgot to mention women doesn't mean that they don't have to deal with the 'war of everyone against everyone' in any competition for power. They can be conflicted about it because women are not supposed to want power, except of a nurturing kind. One wonders how [this book] might have been constructed had this drive been assumed as normal for women, and the politics of everyday life a given."

Jill Ker Conway, New York Times Book Review, 08/27/1995
