About the series

Elements on Women in the History of Philosophy provides concise studies of women’s philosophical endeavour from antiquity to the present. 

Each Element is devoted to a particular philosopher or to a tradition of women philosophers, reflecting the diverse range of women’s philosophical interests, including ethics, feminism, political thought, philosophy of religion, educational theory, logic, epistemology, and metaphysics.

Focusing on both prominent and lesser-known figures, the series offers a representative overview of women’s contributions to the history of philosophy as well as in-depth studies of specific arguments. 

Authored by both established and emerging scholars, each Element advances novel interpretations of key philosophical ideas and introduces recent scholarship in the field. The series aims to broaden and revise the history of philosophy and is particularly useful for teaching purposes.
