Women Philosophers: Look Closely. They're There.

There's no shortage of great thinkers, but in philosophy, it's sometimes difficult to find females in the crowd. Admittedly, most historical eras did not encourage deep thought in ladies, but make no mistake, there were still a significant number of them who decided to buck tradition and use their heads. For thousands of years, women have been involved in logic, ethics, theory of reality, theory of knowledge, political theory, religious philosophy, aesthetics, and much more.

If you have a curious little girl looking for a new role model, or if you'd like to present a more inclusive picture to your little boy, check out these wonderful websites, and meet some amazing women who have contributed to the evolution of thought and wisdom.
