Women Write Buber

Women Writing Buber sheds new light on Martin Buber's thought through the voices of women scholars who engaged with, interpreted, and transformed his philosophy. The book uncovers a vibrant and often overlooked intellectual conversation that challenges the traditional, male-dominated reception of Buber's work.
Bringing together thinkers, and scholars from diverse intellectual interests, Women Writing Buber explores how female perspectives reframe central concepts such as dialogue, encounter, and relationality. By tracing these interpretations across literature, philosophy, theology, art, politics, and environmentalism, the book not only expands the understanding of Buber's legacy but also centers and repositions women's contributions within modern Jewish thought. This book goes beyond the classical division between the work of the thinker and its scholarly reception. In this collection, female scholars imagine and develop the missing parts of Buber's work.
