“A brave and brilliant book, which brings to bear a rich array of philosophical sources to address one of the most pressing issues women face in their lives—loneliness.”

“A melodious meditation on a theme from which we suffer too much to theorize so little. Reading this book will stimulate collective healing at the most intimate source of philosophical life.”
— Catherine Keller, Drew University
