Recommendation RequestFemale philosophers?
Posted October 29, 2022 by OpusDei in FeministBooks

Anyone have any recommendations for some female philosophers to check out? There's so many men to choose from, but if you asked me about women I think literally the only one I could name quickly was Ayn Rand. If I thought about it some more I might remember Simone de Beavoir. I've heard of Hannah Arendt but couldn't remember her until I googled "female philosophers" just now.

Not looking for anyone of specific schools of thought other than just philosophers who are female - could be controversial or not, specifically feminist or not, though if you recommend someone a short sentence or two about what she's about or why you're making the recommendation would be interesting. And if you want to recommend one of the ladies I already named that's okay too. Could be 'old school' or even more contemporary figures from our current time as well (which would also be quite interesting! so many men with bullshit philosophy podcasts but are there any women with podcasts of interest?)
