Where are the women philosophers? The answer is right here. The
history of philosophy has not done women justice: you've probably heard
the names Plato, Kant, Nietzsche and Locke - but what about Hypatia,
Arendt, Oluwole and Young? The Philosopher Queens is a long-awaited book
about the lives and works of women in philosophy by women in philosophy.
This collection brings to centre stage twenty prominent women whose
ideas have had a profound - but for the most part uncredited - impact on
the world.
You'll learn about Ban Zhao, the first woman
historian in ancient Chinese history; Angela Davis, perhaps the most
iconic symbol of the American Black Power Movement; Azizah Y. al-Hibri,
known for examining the intersection of Islamic law and gender equality;
and many more. For anyone who has wondered where the women
philosophers are, or anyone curious about the history of ideas - it's
time to meet the philosopher queens.
