Despite their strong leadership presence in Soviet academia, women philosophers have remained largely unrecognized for their original thought, remembered instead as translators, teachers, and caretakers of ideas. Women Philosophers and Russia both situates and analyzes the philosophical contributions of female philosophers - and the significance of women's issues more broadly - in intellectual history from the imperial to post-Soviet eras. Bringing together an interdisciplinary collective of sixteen scholars, the volume examines the ideas, careers, and lives of thinkers like Zinaida Stolitsa, Vera Volkovich, Ayn Rand, Liubov Akselrod, Olga Tankhilevich, Nelly Motroshilova, Piama Gaidenko, Aleksandra Kollontai, Marie Goldsmith, Myrrha Lot-Borodine, Sofia Gubaidulina, Lidiya Ginzburg, and Zinaida Mirkina, redefining the contours of philosophical inquiry in the process of bringing their ideas to light.
