Feminist History of Philosophy: The Recovery and Evaluation of Women's Philosophical Thought cover

Over the course of the past twenty-five years, feminist theory has had a forceful impact upon the history of Western philosophy. The present collection of essays has as its primary aim to evaluate past women’s published philosophical work, and to introduce readers to newly recovered female figures; the collection will also make contributions to the history of the philosophy of gender, and to the history of feminist social and political philosophy, insofar as the collection will discuss women’s views on these issues.

The volume contains contributions by an international group of leading historians of philosophy and political thought, whose scholarship represents some of the very best work being done in North and Central America, Canada, Europe and Australia.

“Anyone interested in teaching, writing about, or merely familiarizing themselves further with this area will find this collection invaluable.” (Margaret Atherton, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Vol. 58 (3), July, 2020)
