Title: AMERICA'S FIRST WOMEN PHILOSOPHERS: TRANSPLANTING HEGEL, 1860-1925
Description: "This is the first book about the women of the early American idealist movement in philosophy. The movement started in St. Louis, Missouri in 1858, becoming more influential as women joined and influenced its development. Many of these women were pioneers in feminist thought, the expansion of education, and women's role in it as teachers and scholars. Chief among them were Susan E. Blow, Anna C. Brackett, Grace C. Bibb, Ellen M. Mitchell, Eliza R. Sunderland, Lucia Ames Mead, and Marietta Kies. This book explores the life, practical work, and philosophical ideas of each of them."--Jacket.
