Philosophy has not just excluded women. It has also been shaped by
the exclusion of women. As the field grapples with the reality that
sexism is a central problem not just for the demographics of the
field but also for how philosophy is practiced, many philosophers
have begun to rethink the canon. Yet attempts to broaden European
and Anglophone philosophy to include more women in the discipline's
history or to acknowledge alternative traditions will not suffice
as long as exclusionary norms remain in place. In Where Are the
Women?, Sarah Tyson makes a powerful case for how redressing
women's exclusion can make philosophy better. She argues that
engagements with historical thinkers typically afforded little
authority can transform the field, outlining strategies based on
the work of three influential theorists: Genevieve Lloyd, Luce
Irigaray, and Michele Le Doeuff. Following from the possibilities
they open up, at once literary, linguistic, psychological, and
political, Tyson reclaims two passionate nineteenth-century
texts-the Declaration of Sentiments from the 1848 Seneca Falls
Convention and Sojourner Truth's speech at the 1851 Akron, Ohio,
Women's Convention-showing how the demands for equality, rights,
and recognition sought in the early women's movement still pose
quandaries for contemporary philosophy, feminism, and politics.
Where Are the Women? challenges us to confront the reality that
women's exclusion from philosophy has been an ongoing project and
to become more critical both of how we see existing injustices and
of how we address them.
