WOMEN IN PHILOSOPHY, SCIENCE, DIDACTIC AND ART” PART 1, philosophy and science

In ancient philosophy in the West, while academic philosophy was typically the domain of male philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle, female philosophers such as Hipparchia of Maroneia (ca. 325 BC), Arete of Cyrene (5th–4th century BC) and Aspasia of Miletus (470–400 BC) were active during this period. Notable  philosophers include Hypatia (5th century), St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) and St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). Influential contemporary philosophers include Susanne K. Langer (1895–1985),    Simone de Beauvoir (1908–1986)

While the eleventh century saw the emergence of the first universities, women were, for the most part, excluded from university education.
