For those interested in this topic, I've recommended this book before on
this list, and it deals with the historical changes in the Western
philosophical canon of the notion of reason, its relation to gender, and how
reason and passion come to be defined in opposition:

Genvevieve Lloyd, _The Man of Reason: 'Male' and 'Female' in Western
Philosophy. Minneapolis: U of Minnesota Press, 1984.
