Philo Agora's talk this Tuesday, October 20. is Caroline
Brem Feminist and Feminine Ethics
Caroline will present an overview of feminist and feminine ethics and
morals in a world where mens' voices always seem louder than their
female counterparts. She will argue that Joanna Russ' book How to
Suppress Women's Writing could, without much difficulty, be recast to
show how female philosophers didn't quite make the grade to stand alone.
Caroline Brem's current educational ambition has now been scaled
back to doing another M.A. (she already has two, including one in
philosophy - Ed,) Unless, as she tells us, there is a limit to how
many of these one can do. There are so many interesting topics,
