5.0 out of 5 stars Insight into the personal world of a genius, 1 May 2002
I gave up my PhD because this woman was so clever- especially in Hegel contra Sociology. This memoir is very moving, but very challenging and rich. I read it twice a year and still find new insights, and it challenges our humanity as much as intellect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love's Work is one of the most powerful books I have read., 10 Oct 1999
By A Customer
In Love's Work, Rose not only recounts events from her life through which her inner self is revealed, but takes the reader on a philosophical journey about life itself. The text is multi-layered, and can be read both as an autobiography and a philosophical work. It is this depth that has led me to read and re-read Love's Work, each time finding new points of power and meaning.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent biografical and deeply philosophical book, 27 May 1999
By A Customer
Rose is honest, shocking, amusing, bitter, clever. I've never read such a book with such intensity time and time again, as fragments of the life of an undoubtedly powerful and strongly passionate woman are exposed. HIGHLY recommended, even though it is by no means easy readin
