Kelly Oliver and Marilyn Pearsall have even suggested that Nietzsche's philosophy cannot be understood or analyzed apart from his remarks on women. They opine that, even though Nietzsche's work has been useful in the development of some feminist theory, it cannot be considered feminist per se: "While Nietzsche challenges traditional hierarchies ...
In "Nietzsche and Women", Dohm examines Nietzsche's views on women and critiques his misogyny while employing his arguments to build a critique of biological essentialism.
