The Philosopher Queens
My most significant piece of public philosophy is my co-edited volume,The Philosopher Queens (2020): a book about women philosophers by women philosophers. The book covers 20 women philosophers, detailing their lives and work.
Throughout the development of the project, I have been lucky enough to engage with philosophers across the world on the topic on minorities in philosophy. I have also spoken at secondary schools and universities, encouraging young women to study philosophy and discussing barriers that they may face.
The Philosopher Queens is being republished by Hackett in 2027, with four new chapters.
