Okay kiddo, do you know what philosophy means? It refers to the study of knowledge, existence, and behavior. People who study philosophy try to understand how things work, why things happen, and what is good or bad.
Now, when we talk about women in philosophy it means that we are looking at the contribution of women to this field of study. For a very long time, philosophy was dominated by men, and only very few women were allowed to study it. But that doesn't mean women didn't have any thoughts or ideas about these big questions.
Over time, more and more women wanted to study philosophy, but they faced a lot of obstacles. Some people believed that women were not as intelligent as men, and that they couldn't think as logically or rationally. However, this was not true at all.
Throughout history, there have been many brilliant women who have made significant contributions to philosophy. For example, Mary Wollstonecraft was one of the pioneers of feminist philosophy, while Simone de Beauvoir's book "The Second Sex" is still considered a classic when talking about gender and society.
Today, more and more women are studying philosophy, and they are proving that they are just as capable as men in this field. It's important to have diverse perspectives when trying to understand the world and philosophy is no exception. So, it's great news that more and more women are involved in it!
