Women Philosophers in the Long Nineteenth Century: The German Tradition
🕑 Added 2022-12-02 11:14:43 +0000 UTCA great anthology I've been reading from lately that I'd definitely recommend. The 19th century is an absolutely incredible period for German philosophy, and it included many amazing women philosophers as well. They were able to turn their exclusion from the academic establishment into a strength, as their thought was not constrained by academic disciplinary constraints, and also tends to have a distinctly practical orientation. In some cases, their contributions were later purposefully suppressed or ignored by anti-feminists who opposed the introduction of women into academia.
This collection has a great selection of texts from both well-known and relatively obscure thinkers, and an intellectual/biographical introduction to each of them. There's a good mix between their general philosophical concerns and specifically feminist concerns. Also covers different schools, from German idealists to romanticists to Marxists (Clara Zetkin and Rosa Luxemburg), as well as Lou Salomé (who was not only a close friend of Nietzsche but an early pioneer in Freudian psychoanalysis).

I'd love if you did a series on women philosophers
