edited by Mary Ellen Waithe Series: HISTORY OF WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS
volume: 3 From the 17th century onwards, increasing numbers of
mostly self-educated women became philosophers. The philosophical
writings of Anna Maria van Schurman, Margaret Cavendish, Anne
Conway, Mary Astell, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, Damaris Cudworth
Masham, Harriet Taylor Mill, Harriet Martineau, Margaret Fuller,
Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Lou Andreas Salome, Germaine de Staehl,
Sophie Germain, and Mary Sommerville were influential. Other
philosophers, including Queen Kristina of Sweden, Sor Juana Inez de
la Cruz, Julie Favre, Clarisse Coignet, Anna Tumarkin, Hortense
Allart de Meritens, Sophie Bryant, and Hedwig Bender were less well
known. But all demonstrate expertise in many areas of philosophy:
epistemology, logic, aesthetics, metaphysics, ethics, political
philosophy, philosophy of science, of psychology, of religion, and,
of mathematics. They write on such diverse topics as the mystical
and the paranormal, the nature of thought, of faith, of morality,
of liberty, of logic, and, the rights of women. Together they
manifest philosophy's own transition from mysticism to logical
positivism. Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht March 1991 344
