This book aims to redress the balance in the field of Contemporary
Philosophy, considered predominantly male, by highlighting the
philosophical achievements of various female figures during the
period 1870-1970. Contemporary Philosophy is generally presented by
its historians as a field founded entirely by men, with no
prominent female contributors. Historical investigation of the
development of contemporary analytic philosophy, for example,
usually centres around Frege, Russell, and Wittgenstein, with
occasional ventures into Moore or the Vienna Circle. Such accounts
leave out vast swathes of the historical record (from early 19th
century to 20th century), in particular the women, including
Christine Ladd-Franklin, Sophie Bryant, E.E.C. Jones, Susan
Stebbing, Dorothy Wrinch, Alice Ambrose, Margaret MacDonald, Martha
Kneale, Ruth Barcan Marcus and Ayda Ignez Arruda publishing on
themes central to analytic philosophy– logic, language, realism,
and relations. It is noteworthy that this pattern in historiography
is not unique to one strand of philosophy or one part of the world
but re-appears again and again. In the continental tradition, the
development of Schopenhauer's philosophy leaves out significant
contributions of women such as Olga Plümacher. The chapters in
this book examine central themes from the perspective of female
philosophers to provide a fuller picture of Philosophy of this
period. This volume will be a great resource for academics,
researchers, and advanced students of Philosophy and Women’s
Studies and for everyone interested in the contribution of women
philosophers. It was originally published in the British Journal
for the History of Philosophy.
