MAYHEW, Robert. The Female in Aristotle's Biology: Reason or Rationalization. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2004. x + 136 pp. Cloth, $28.00--Negative perceptions of Aristotle's view of women are well known. Maryanne Cline Horowitz, Aristotle and Women, connects what she calls "Aristotle's biological" with his "political sexism." According to Horowitz, not only do his remarks on women represent "sex prejudice," but they are dangerous as well, and she claims that they are the source of "many of the standard Western arguments for the inferiority of womankind and for the political subordination of women to men in home and in society" (p. 1).
