Happy #InternationalWomen'sDay!

The Trump administration rescinded the NEH grant we were awarded for this series b/c they don't want you to know about these #WiseWomen from all over the world. We've got female philosophers from Alexandria, Brazil, Europe, Korea, and the US.

Take a listen!

An excellent source! #WiseWomen

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?

Last summer we dropped the sixteenth and final new episode in our #WiseWomen series, so this #WomensHistoryMonth feels like the perfect time to celebrate it.

Check out all the episodes, from Hypatia of Alexandria to Judith Jarvis Thomson of MIT, at philosophytalk.org/playlist/the... #PhilSky

When I was a kid, my mom (born in 1927) used to tell me about Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm, encouraging me to observe their leadership and regard them as exemplary.

My grandmother (b 1902) taught me that racism was a sin. She was an avid fan of Lincoln.
