Women Philosophers 1500 - 2000 CE

Women Philosophers 1500 - 2000 CE are more documented and because of the printing press we have more extant texts.

There are, of course, many more women to add to this list. But it takes time to code web pages and it takes even more time to do adequate research. If you wish to contribute material for this group of women, do use the contact form on the About us page.
