In recent years, feminist philosophy has become increasingly mainstream, present and even sought after in many philosophy departments. But this is a recent development, and still an unevenly distributed one. There are still many philosophers, and even many departments, who view feminist philosophy with suspicion, considering it to be 鈥渘ot really philosophy鈥�. This discussion will explore the period during which feminist philosophers worked to establish feminist philosophy in philosophy departments, with varying degrees of success

The discussion has two starting points: (1) Jennifer Saul鈥檚 review of Louise Antony’s Only Natural聽and (2) Taking Root,聽a work in progress edited by Matthew Cull, Katharine Jenkins, and Jennifer Saul, which consists of articles by and interviews with the feminist philosophers who worked to establish the field.聽Jessica Brown, Matthew Cull, Jade Fletcher, and Jennifer Saul will discuss themes and questions which emerge from this work, before opening up the discussion to the audience.
