This was special. I got to host ABC's The Philosophers' Zone, in celebration of International Women's Day. And - the best part - I interviewed my good friend Kristin Gjesdal.
Hear Kristin (and me) talk about IWD and the woman behind it, Clara Zetkin, here:
www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
For more on Zetkin, I highly recommend @kristingjesdal.bsky.social's incisive interview with @herplacepod.bsky.social, especially re Zetkin's analysis of fascism. She died in exile in 1933--she knew what she was talking about.

For the first episode of Her Place in Theory (@herplacepod.bsky.social) in 2026, I had the pleasure of talking with @kristingjesdal.bsky.social about the remarkable Clara Zetkin - Marxist theorist, communist activist, and tireless advocate for women’s liberation. open.spotify.com/episode/3j8Q...
Looking for something to read for the rest of this Thanksgiving weekend, if you're in the US? Or for a cozy, regular weekend, in the rest of the Northern hemisphere? Or for a warm weekend outside for those in the Southern hemisphere? Or...?
You get the drill... 😉

One of the many virtues of Rebellinnen der Philosophie is that it allows me to continue my series of impressive head gear sighted in Berlin

First episode of a wonderful new podcast--Her Place in Theory--featuring the political #philosophy of Germaine de #Staël in an interview with Helena Rosenblatt. Learned so much and looking forward to more!

More women philosophers are always welcome: Hilda Oakeley seems particularly erudite & her works include History and Progress (1923); Greek Ethical Thought (1925); A Study in the Philosophy of Personality (1928) and History and the Self (1934). Can't wait to read more!

How to think about children and education? About learning and learning well? Maria Montessori’s work should not be overlooked. She was a formidable philosopher. Patrick Frierson’s new book on her philosophy of education does her full justice. Summer reading, anyone?

Very excited to visit Helsinki & looking forward to lots of high-quality talks on art and aesthetics at the Nordic Society of Aesthetics’ annual conference this weekend. www.nsae.fi/conferences/

Happy Birthday, Margaret #Fuller! A good year for her--wonderful treatment of her importance in both these new publications. More this year in our OUP volume on American women #philosophers. #philsky #womeninphilosophy #americanphilosophy #transcendentalism
The summer conference schedule is off with a bang! Looking so much forward to “The Philosophy of Angela Y. Davis” in Bergen this week. @schlawinerkreis.bsky.social and @franz.knappik.bsky.social have put together an amazing conference program -

George Eliot was an extraordinary gifted novelist. She was also a philosophical thinker. This week, Clare Carlisle’s much-anticipated Stanford Encyclopedia-entry on George Eliot’s philosophy is up online. Do check it out –

What? That's such a nice coincidence. Staël was reading Kant from early on - though is a bit of an unruly Kantian!
A political superpower à la England and Russia! Germaine de Staël was born 04/22/1766. Her philosophy? Humboldt adored her moral psychology; Goethe and Schiller praised her aesthetics. New translations of her philosophy are much overdue. Here, too, she is a superpower -
Ibsen’s “Ghosts,” directed by Jack O’Brian, at the LCT, NYC, is definitely worthwhile. And this comes from somebody who has seen what probably amounts to an unhealthy number of Ibsen stagings, esp. while researching my Ibsen, Hegel, Nietzsche-book.

Final panel of my #womenshistorymonth tetraptych. A book @lydiamoland.bsky.social has not mentioned: her own! «Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life» is truly inspiring & relevant. We need more Lydias – of the #19C and of the #21C kind.
