Survey of Women Philosophers. A Riddle: What would

with a law degree from Utrecht University, studied
medicine, taught philosophy, wrote books, and in her
spare time was a sculptor and painter of note? Unmarriageable.
At least that’s what Anna Maria von Schürmann’s
mother thought. Despite mom’s angst, her Renaissance
daughter eventually had the world knocking on her Dutch
doors. Celebrity eggheads like Descartes exchanged
ideas with Anna Maria --- from Uppity Women of Medieval
Times by Vicki Leon. |
