I highly recommend this book, for it fully succeeds in showing that Pythagorean women sages -- independently from their real, historical identity -- set out a strategy for teaching other women in their group that family is the space in which they can achieve outstanding moral value, the precinct in which they can give their 'philosophical' contribution., "I highly recommend this book, for it fully succeeds in showing that Pythagorean women sages -- independently from their real, historical identity -- set out a strategy for teaching other women in their group that family is the space in which they can achieve outstanding moral value, the precinct in which they can give their 'philosophical' contribution." -- Antonietta Provenza, The Classical Review, "Rather than seeking to establish the authenticity or otherwise of the texts attributed to or about Pythagorean women, Dutsch aims to consider these texts on their own merits, and to establish what they indicate about the gendering of philosophical knowledge in antiquity and the possible construction or acknowledgement of female intellectual possibilities ... her careful analysis of the evidence and her willingness to balance caution with optimism have produced a fascinating account of these challenging texts." -- Jenny Bryan, Greece & Rome "I highly recommend this book, for it fully succeeds in showing that Pythagorean women sages -- independently from their real, historical identity -- set out a strategy for teaching other women in their group that family is the space in which they can achieve outstanding moral value, the precinct in which they can give their 'philosophical' contribution." -- Antonietta Provenza, The Classical Review, "Rather than seeking to establish the authenticity or otherwise of the texts attributed to or about Pythagorean women, Dutsch aims to consider these texts on their own merits, and to establish what they indicate about the gendering of philosophical knowledge in antiquity and the possible construction or acknowledgement of female intellectual possibilities ... her careful analysis of the evidence and her willingness to balance caution with optimism have produced a fascinating account of these challenging texts." -- Jenny Bryan, Greece & Rome"I highly recommend this book, for it fully succeeds in showing that Pythagorean women sages -- independently from their real, historical identity -- set out a strategy for teaching other women in their group that family is the space in which they can achieve outstanding moral value, the precinct in which they can give their 'philosophical' contribution." -- Antonietta Provenza, The Classical Review

Synopsis
Women played an important part in Pythagorean communities, so Greek sources from the Classical era to Byzantium consistently maintain. Pseudonymous philosophical texts by Theano, Pythagoras' disciple or wife, his daughter Myia, and other female Pythagoreans, circulated in Greek and Syriac. Far from being individual creations, these texts rework and revise a standard Pythagorean script. What can we learn from this network of sayings, philosophical treatises, and letters about gender and knowledge in the Greek intellectual tradition? Can these writings represent the work of historical Pythagorean women? If so, can we find in them a critique of the dominant order or strategies of resistance? In search of answers to these questions, Pythagorean Women Philosophers examines Plato's dialogues, fragmentary historians, and little-known testimonies to women's contributions to Pythagorean thought. Adopting Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutics, Dutsch approaches such testimonies with a mixture of suspicion and belief. This approach allows the reader to alternate critique of the epistemic regimes that produced ancient texts with a hopeful reading, one which recognizes female knowledge and agency. Dutsch contends that the value of the Pythagorean text-network lies not in what it may represent but in what it is -- a fictionalized version of Greek intellectual history that makes place for women philosophers. The book traces this alternative history, challenging us to rethink our own account of the past., Pythagorean Women Philosophers argues for a rewriting of Greek philosophical history so as to include female intellectuals.

Dutsch contends that the value of the Pythagorean text-network lies not in what it may represent but in what it is -- a fictionalized version of Greek intellectual history that makes place for women philosophers. The book traces this alternative history, challenging us to rethink our own account of the past., Greek sources, postdating Pythagoras by hundreds of years, suggest that women played an important part in his school. Pseudonymous texts attributed to Theano, Pythagoras' disciple or wife, and other female Pythagoreans, have also come down to us. Such testimonies are usually discussed as evidence for life in Pythagorean communities. Pythagorean Women Philosophers maps an entire web of textual tradition to offer something more complex: a rewriting of Greek philosophical history so as to include female intellectuals.Bringing together little-known testimonies to women's contributions to Pythagorean thought, this book shows what modern readers may learn from them. Such testimonies first surface in fragments of Peripatetic writers, and continued to shape the reception of Pythagoreanism until the seventh century CE. They include sayings, philosophical treatises, and letters attributed to Pythagorean women, and form a vital undercurrent of the Pythagorean tradition. Against the tendency to discuss these testimonies in terms of their validity as historical accounts of the life in Pythagorean communities, Dutsch contends that their value lies not in what they may represent but in what they are - accounts of Greek philosophical history that emphatically include women. Consequently, the book shifts attention from texts as historical testimonies to texts as literary artefacts engaged in creating a vision of the past, producing meaning in dialogue with other texts, especially the dialogues of Plato. Pythagorean women emerge from this overview not as individuals but as potent cultural icons that exist in the Greek culture's evolving imaginarium, challenging us to rethink our own accounts of Greek philosophical history.
