Taken as a whole, the monograph is an outstanding contribution to feminist philosophical scholarship, and one that I anticipate will alter the course of a number of discussions in this field in fruitful ways.

It would be ideal for an advanced undergraduate or graduate seminar owing to its careful exposition and critique of many of the main themes within contemporary feminist philosophy. ... Mikkola's book displays an impressive breadth of research and a multitude of dense, detailed arguments. ...

Mikkola's book The Wrong of Injustice undertakes a bold paradigm shift in feminist philosophy. She has provided oodles of arguments to support it; but also, as in any paradigm shift, the real power of the work comes from clearing space for new and enlightening ways of thinking. There are many of us looking for non-ideal theory
not just non-ideal commitments
to guide the normative dimension of our work. Mikkola's book provides a model, in fact, a landmark, to guide us as we move ahead.

Mikkola's book is a powerful and original argument for neo-humanist feminism.
