Day 8 of #WomenWhoRethoughtTheWorld HAD to be philosopher Clara Zetkin!

Zetkin rethought women's role in socialism, insisting on working women's inclusion in feminism. She also originated International Women's Day!

Happy birthday to Lydia Maria Child--a woman so fierce in her pursuit of racial justice, so progressive in her enlightened patriotism, and so inspiring in her activism that when I discovered her, I had to write a book about her. Happy birthday LMC! #19C #womenshistory #otd #womeninphilosophy

Loved talking to @juliettemarchant.bsky.social about the complicated life and philosophy of Helene Stöcker. Her #feminism was radical, her #pacifism was uncompromising, her vision for human flourishing was hugely problematic. Lots to think about.
