This book contains a selection of papers from the workshop Women in the History of Analytic Philosophy held in October 2019 in Tilburg, the Netherlands. As such, it is the first book devoted to the role of women in early analytic philosophy. It discusses the ideas of ten female philosophers. It covers a period of over a hundred years, beginning with the contribution to the Significs Movement by Victoria, Lady Welby, in the second half of the nineteenth century, and ending with Ruth Barcan Marcus’s celebrated version of quantified modal logic after the Second World War. The book emphasizes that women contributed greatly to the development of analytic philosophy. The book is to be found in all areas of philosophy, from logic, epistemology, and philosophy of science, to ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of language. The book illustrates that although women's voices were no different from men's as regards their scope and versatility, they had a much harder time being heard. The book is aimed at historians of philosophy and scholars in gender studies.
