This book examines Bertrand Russell’s complicated relationships
to the women around him, and to feminism more generally. The essays
in this volume offer scholarly reassessments of these relationships
and their import for the history of feminism and of analytic
philosophy. Russell is a founder of analytic philosophy. He has
also been called a feminist due to his public, decades-long
advocacy for women’s rights and equality of the sexes. But his
private behavior towards wives and sexual partners, and his
apparently dismissive (occasionally public) responses to some women
philosophers, raises the question of what sort of feminist (or
chauvinist) Russell actually was. Focusing on women in Russell’s
circle of acquaintance, including feminist activists and his
philosophical interlocutors, this book casts new light on a
timeless thinker’s feminism and the women who played critical
roles in the making of analytic philosophy.
