Women philosophers books for courses

Women Philosophers books to read or research in your philosophy course

Elsie M. Barth thought that "Books by women should figure more prominently in normal programs in philosophy departments in universities and colleges." but often students and faculty areat a loss as to what women philosophers books they might use for a given class.

In 1976, Professor Barth was an invited lecturer at the Philosophy Department of Catholic University at Nijmegen and during her talk she said that one could set up an entire doctoral program, covering all the major areas of philosophy and read only works by women philosophers....AND that this could be done without lowering the standards of any such program. A strong claim and Barth said that the response from Netherlands, Finland and Sweden encourage her to create such a bibliography ofWomen philosophers books.

The completed work for Women philosophers books is published by the Philosophy documentation Center, Bowling Green University as WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS A bibliography of Books through 1990. ISBN 0-912632-91-7

It would seem every college and university that offers courses in philosophy, should have a copy of this title in their library. Certainly any school with a major or graduate program in the discipline should have a copy. It would allow faculty and students to widen their understanding of the philosophical corpus. And it would provide a reference for students looking for term paper material that includes the work of women.

I offer here are a few samples from that work = perhaps this list will encourage faculty and students to learn moreabout Women philosophers books.
