Bridget biologiske klokke tikker voldsomt, og mammabloggene hjemsøker henne. I typisk Bridget Jones-stil blir hun endelig gravid - om enn ikke helt som planlagt. Det er et svangerskap proppfullt av potetgrateng, sprø råd fra fulle, single venner og selvtilfredse mødre, kaotiske ultralydundersøkelser og svangerskapskurs - i tillegg til andre underlige forviklinger, romantikk, glede og fortvilelse.

Helen Fielding, britisk journalist og forfatter, oppnådde stor internasjonal suksess da hennes populære avisspalte i The Independent om den lett nevrotiske Bridget Jones ble bok. Bridget Jones' dagbok (på norsk i 1988) ble et fenomen verden over. Også fortsettelsen, Bridget Jones: På randen (på norsk i 2000) ble en bestselger. Bøkene ble utgitt i 40 land, solgte 15 millioner på verdensbasis. Også filmene basert på bøkene, med Renée Zellweger, Hugh Grant og Colin Firth i hovedrollene, ble svært populære. Fielding debuterte med romanen Cause Celeb og har også skrevet Olivia Joules hyperaktive fantasi.

The western philosophical tradition has only recently explored alterity, in particular the alterity of woman as the other of man. This volume reflects on the ethical implications of this, and on the need for a rethinking of the implicit structures of Western philosophy, which exclude women as subjects who conceptualize the world and society.
