Women's History Month is the perfect time to listen to this series I designed about the overlooked and underrated contributions of women in philosophy.
From Hypatia to Hildegard, Mary Wollstonecraft to Mary Midgley, learn about philosophy's unsung heroines!
#WomensHistoryMonth #Philosophy #PhilSky
In the spirit of #WomensHistoryMonth and the upcoming #Oscars, here are films that feature thinkers from our #WiseWomen series:
• "Mary Shelley" (2017): Mary Wollstonecraft
• "Agora" (2009): Hypatia of Alexandria
• "Iris" (2001): Iris Murdoch
• "Reds" (1981): Emma Goldman
What others are there?
