Anscombe and I guess maybe Murdoch. That chick working on possible-world shit in the '60s whose name escapes me.

ayn rand
Anscombe is the greatest. A very underrated philosopher.
Most other female philosophers were pretty damn poor and extremely overrated. And they managed to have a negative effect on society.

Smart people tend to congregate with other smart people. You most likely won't ever meet any.
certainly no where near greatest but I love Nancy Cartwright in philosophy of science.
de beauvoir would be there.

Hannah Arendt

There are no female philosophers. There's some female poets and novelists who have done some significance to humanity though. Mary Shelley, Clara Reeve, Ann Radcliffe, Virginia Woolf, Emily Brontë, etc.
Ayn Rand is a joke. Simone is a joke. In philosophy women are notoriously useless and incompetent, always just poorly commenting on what male philosophers have already said, or attempting to develop their own without having more than a basic Phil 101 understanding of the tradition.

good call that
she had an excellent mind
There's a lot of them.
Hint: They were all Catholic.
Anscombe contributed to get virtue ethics restarted in her Modern Moral Philosophy.
