While I am passionate about feminist philosophy as a whole, I am especially excited about the historically-overlooked women philosophers of the early modern period.

Research networks on early modern philosophers

Although research on early modern women philosophers is still fairly recent - only a few decades! - there is an extensive and productive research community. Below are links to some of the larger hubs of researchers working on these exciting and historically overlooked philosophers.

• Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy - link
• The Center for New Narratives in Philosophy - link
• Project Vox - link
• Feminist History of Philosophy - link
• History of Women Philosophers and Scientists - link

And, in shameless self-promotion, some friends and fellow Astell researchers and I started the Friends of Mary Astell, an APA-affiliated group focused on Astell scholarship. You can check out our upcoming events here.
