The problem(s) of women in philosophy: Reflections on the practice of feminism in philosophy from contemporary Aotearoa/New Zealand.

Philosophy has always had, and continues to have, a 'Woman Problem'. Women remain under-represented as students, as scholars, in journal publications - especially in 'top' journals - and as philosophical subjects. In this paper, I discuss recent feminist philosophical scholarship on this issue, differentiating what I identify as three related but distinct Woman Problems. I consider each of these, focusing in particular on what I label 'The (Anti) Feminist Problem'. I continue by analysing the marginalisation of feminist voices in philosophical discourses as a case of epistemic injustice. Employing elements of a feminist standpoint approach to enquiry, I go on to consider the way in which experiences and reflections that start from lives lived on the margins of the discipline can be a rich source of philosophical insight that is neglected because of philosophy's problem with feminism.
