Women Philosophers 1000 - 1500 CE

Few of the Women Philosophers 1000 - 1500 CE have been included in Introduction to Philosophy text books. And yet they did some extraordinary work and are well worth reading.

There are additional women to be added to this list. But we need to learn who they are from our visitors. I feel certain thatthere were women 'lovers of wisdom' on some of the other continents during this time period but I do not know their names.

If you have researched or written about an individual woman from this time period and would like to contribute information, please use the form at the end of this page.
