The Philosopher Queens: The lives and legacies of philosophy's unsung women by Rebecca Buxton, Lisa Whiting

4.0

---

Great book written and edited by women, highlighting the philosophers who have been overlooked. I loved how the definition of "philosopher" was refined to include women who academia might not typically classify as such - eg political activists, and authors. There were great summaries of their key ideas, and on the whole the book was really accessible.
