Through in-depth case studies, author Dorothy Rogers explores the factors that drove these remarkable women to pursue careers in academic philosophy, examines the groundbreaking ideas they developed, and assesses the lasting influence they had on the academic and social realms they inhabited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of these women were active participants in professional academic circles, contributing their insights to esteemed academic journals and engaging in critical philosophical discussions of the time. These discussions ranged from the profound question of free will to the intricate relationship between God and self and the quest for establishing a just society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile some of these women achieved remarkable success by securing their degrees at institutions that were supportive of their academic pursuits, a handful of them defied societal expectations and achieved professional distinction at institutions that initially overlooked their achievements. John Hopkins and Harvard are notable examples of such institutions that later recognized the contributions of these women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, it is important to note that not all women who pursued careers in academic philosophy found success. Many of those who did not develop careers in academic philosophy transitioned to careers in social welfare or education, highlighting the policies and practices that hindered or prevented others from achieving similar success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough this comprehensive examination, the book sheds light on the academic achievements of some while also delving into the challenges and barriers faced by others. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in exploring the history and contributions of women in philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 561g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350213975\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dorothy G.Rogers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44761446088954,"sku":"9781350213975","price":46.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1699627035716_book.jpg?v=1699778286","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-philosophers-volume-ii-entering-academia-in-nineteenthcentury-america-9781350213975","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
