Could you name ten women philosophers? Could you name three? Most people couldn't. For thousands of years, women have been relegated to the margins of philosophy, their contributions too often absorbed into their male counterparts' work, smothered, or simply made impossible to pursue. This volume aims to redress the imbalance in gender parity that persists well into the 21st century by offering a range of essays written exclusively by women and directed toward girls and young women interested in philosophy and analytical thinking. Divided into four sections that correspond to major fields in philosophy--metaphysics, epistemology, social and political philosophy, and ethics--the essays explore a wide range of topics that will interest young readers and entice them to learn more. Philosophy for Girls gives a tour of the diverse landscape of philosophy, inspiring a new generation of women philosophers.
Autorenporträt
Melissa M. Shew is Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Marquette University. Her expertise and interests are wide-ranging from ancient Greek to contemporary philosophy, philosophy of literature and the arts, and pedagogy. In her scholarship as with her students, she usually finds her way back to authenticity, dialogue, chance, and understanding the power of a moment. Dr. Shew has taught at the university level for fifteen years and also taught for five years at an all-girls college preparatory high school, living out her firm belief in empowering young women and girls through education. She came to philosophy through literature, music, myth, politics, and the arts. Kimberly K. Garchar is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Kent State University and an associated faculty member at Northeast Ohio Medical University. She found her way to philosophy via mathematics and received her Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Oregon in 2006, after which she spent two years as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Colorado Denver and Health Sciences Center. Dr. Garchar specializes in American pragmatism, ethics, and clinical ethics, particularly in the areas of death and dying. She has focused on issues of gender and gender equity, both in philosophy and academia, throughout her career.
