Summary: Sally Haslanger's article, "Changing the Ideology and Culture of Philosophy: Not by Reason (Alone)" (2008), has been a major catalyst for change, since she herself is widely recognized for her work in mainstream analytic philosophy, and she is on the faculty at MIT. The significance of her article is demonstrated by the fact that nearly every subsequent paper on the topic of women in philosophy has cited hers. In addition to personal anecdotes from Haslanger on her experience as a female philosopher, this article includes an overview of empirical data on the representation of women authors in seven journals in philosophy (Ethics, Journal of Philosophy, Mind, Noûs, Philosophical Review, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, and Philosophy and Public Affairs).
