This is a series for those interested in learning more about women writers, intellectuals and activists, women who deserve to be known better than they are. Episodes of the podcast were written and presented by students at the University of Toronto enrolled in a course devoted to the study of women writers in the history of political thought. The podcast is inspired in part by Christine de Pizan’s Book of the City of Ladies (1405). The series is a means to create and extend a virtual pantheon of women who have made important contributions to the history of ideas, to feminism and to the welfare of humankind. Most of these episodes offer comparisons between the women who are the focus of the episode and other women writers studied in the course. Hopefully these introductions (each episode runs approx.. twenty minutes) will spark your curiosity and lead you to read more of their works and learn more about their lives and contributions.
