Of course part of my interest in the HISTORY of women philosophers arose from an experience when I was a sophomore in college. I took my first philosophy course and loved it. One day after class the instructor asked me what my major was. I said, "English but I am thinking of changing to philosophy." He said that I could not do that and among his reasons was that "There are no women philosophers. Women can not do philosophy." So I have ALWAYS been interested in women philosophers and ever since I knew of their existence, I wanted to be sure that their lives and work are widely known so no other young woman could be told what I was told.
Apparently there is a surprising number of instructors who will say things like this, which is insane.
In any case, in the interview Lindemann gives a number of ways you might be able to support the Women-Philosophers.com project, so go and read it.
