We are so happy that the book has found a new home and that Hackett has been amazingly supportive. We will share more about the chapters very soon ❤️

Well, Lisa and I are so delighted enough to share that The Philosopher Queens is now being published with Hackett, with FIVE NEW CHAPTERS. The book will out in 2027 with new illustrations, a new introduction, and a new foreword as well.
