As Women's History Month gets underway, we're halfway through the first season of our NEH-supported series spotlighting female philosophers from antiquity to the nineteenth century. We recently recorded the next episode in the series about the radical eighteenth-century thinker Margaret Cavendish, which is scheduled to air the week of March 24. Until then, be sure to check out the first four episodes in the series, along with our 2014 episode on the ever-wise Simone de Beauvoir.
