Produktbeschreibung

This book advances the rediscovery of forgotten women philosophers in the nineteenth century who have been unjustly left out of the philosophical canon and omitted from narratives about the history of philosophy. It will be of use to students and researchers interested in Philosophy, Women's Studies, and the politics of gender.

Charlotte Alderwick is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at UWE Bristol.
