Celebrating Women in Philosophy Reading List

To celebrate women’s contributions to philosophy, we have created a reading list of books and online resources that explore classic female philosophers and recent feminist philosophy. Despite the lack of opportunity in academic philosophy and their apparent invisibility in the field, women have been practising philosophers for many centuries. Some of the great social and cultural movements have also been enriched by the female minds. Explore books and articles on feminist philosophy, gender oppressions, and women’s empowerment below.

There are times when you want to disappear and never be in sight of people. But then you realize you that's nothing but just a phase where you withdraw yourself from the reality and enjoy your own company. At times like this when your mind is a mess, the only medicine you need to calm your mind is morning zephyr letting your adrenaline rush pump the love you've for nature annd music tuned in soo loud inside your headphone that the existence of outer world looks nothing but vague and self-centered and you'll feel better for getting lost and completely immersed in the world you've found within yourself. #Writingdiaries #Konégin #ScribbleFanatic #InsideFtOutside #2differentworld

You annoy me indeed 😖

I don't care how physically appealing you are, if your soul and heart aren't clean, you're unattractive to me.

Give people time. Give people space. Don’t beg anyone to stay. Let them roam. What’s meant for you will always be yours.

Take a look at Smriti Shrestha (@Konegin_):

“Your life is not an episode of Skins. Things will never look quite as good as they do in a faded, sun-drenched Polaroid; your days are not an editorial from Lula. Your life is not a Sofia Coppola movie, or a Chuck Palahniuk novel, or a Charles Bukowski poem. Grace Coddington isn’t your creative director. Bon Iver and Joy Division don’t play softly in the background at appropriate moments. Your hysterical teenage diary isn’t a work of art. Your room probably isn’t Selby material. Your life isn’t a Tumblr screencap. Every word that comes out of your mouth will not be beautiful and poignant, infinitely quotable. Your pain will not be pretty. Crying till you vomit is always shit. You cannot romanticize hurt. Or sadness. Or loneliness. You will have homework, and hangovers and bad hair days. The train being late won’t lead to any fateful encounters, it will make you late. Sometimes your work will suck. Sometimes you will suck. Far too often, everything will suck - and not in a Wes Anderson kind of way. And there is no divine consolation - only the knowledge that we will hopefully experience the full spectrum - and that sometimes, just sometimes, life will feel like a Coppola film.”

“We are all unique individuals. There’s not a single person in this world that thinks in an identical manner to the way that you do. What you do defines you, and represents who you are. So forget about making him or her proud, make yourself proud. You are your own virtue, and you define your own character.”

The Universe has unlimited ways to bring your dream about. The only thing you have to do is feel as if it has already arrived - and it appears in a way you would never have dreamed possible.

It's all about #LOA

Fall in love with love and life this summer. Spend time appreciating the beauty around you and the people who compliment your lives. Go out more and take as many pictures as possible. Collect memories. Go for long walks or bike rides and watch a fucking sunset. Meet up with friends, sit on a bench and catch up until it’s night. Do random shit. Eat fruit. Exercise outside. Have fun. Compliment strangers. Don’t pass a homeless person without giving them something. Anything. Just don’t ignore them. Meditate, spend the first 10 minutes of your morning sitting in silence. Donate some of your time to a children’s hospital or something to do in your community. Read a few books. Clear your mind and spend the rest of the day thinking positive thoughts. Eat clean and drink more water. Just live and enjoy life. We are not promised this evening, let alone tomorrow. Everything is temporary, so grab it while you can and hold it close to your heart. Fall in love with love and life this summer.

You look in the mirror and see a mess of a human being You don’t see the lives you’ve touched, or the people you’ve saved You don’t see all the love you’ve given freely, or the extraordinary memories you’ve made You are a museum of beautiful moments and feelings You are not weak because you cry over boys You are not a simple being You make plants come back to life, and you turn cold rain showers into warm downpours You are a piece of art that makes people feel things You don’t bring people to their knees, you give them a solid footing And that is beautiful
