Introduction: Women and Philosophy

JournalThink: Philosophy for Everyone
Thematic Cluster/Special IssueWomen in Philosophy
AbstractThis issue of THINK focuses broadly on women and philosophy. There is no doubt that women are hugely under-represented when it comes to the historical philosophical canon, and that there is significant bias within the discipline.
This issue combines illuminating, incisive, and engaging articles on pivotal women thinkers (Joyce E. Mitchell Cook, Iris Murdoch, Christine de Pizan, Mary Midgley, and Anne Conway), and it challenges the biases at work in academic philosophy, the philosophy of trans issues, and pregnancy.
