This book tells the story of the life and work of L. Susan Stebbing
(1885-1943), the first woman Professor of Philosophy in Britain,
and the author of a number of popular books, including Thinking to
Some Purpose (1939). It traces her professional and personal
associations with many of the leading philosophers of her day,
including G. E. Moore, Bertrand Russell, A. J. Ayer and Ludwig
Wittgenstein. Stebbing's early writings were concerned with formal
logic, but she came increasingly to believe in the importance of
exposing misleading uses of language in, for instance, popular
works of science, advertisements, newspaper editorials and
political propaganda. This book considers the historical
developments and the personal, social and political commitments
that contributed to this belief. It also assesses Stebbing's work
in the light of subsequent developments both in analytic philosophy
and in linguistics, and suggests that it has important
contributions to make in both fields.
