Description
This book examines Bertrand Russell's complicated relationships to the women around him, and to feminism more generally. The essays in this volume offer scholarly reassessments of these relationships and their import for the history of feminism and of analytic philosophy.
Russell is a founder of analytic philosophy. He has also been called a feminist due to his public, decades-long advocacy for women's rights and equality of the sexes. But his private behavior towards wives and sexual partners, and his apparently dismissive (occasionally public) responses to some women philosophers, raises the question of what sort of feminist (or chauvinist) Russell actually was.
Focusing on women in Russell's circle of acquaintance, including feminist activists and his philosophical interlocutors, this book casts new light on a timeless thinker's feminism and the women who played critical roles in the making of analytic philosophy.
