Answer 1

Mary Astell
1666--1731
Newcastle, England
Unlike many other women philosophers, Mary Astell came from a family of merchants which didn't classify her as a member of the nobility. She led a very quiet and private life while growing up, and both of her parents died by the time she was 18 years old. She moved to London in search of something better, and she came across a bookseller who gave her a job writing pamphlets.
Mary lived a very simple life with few friends, and she never got married. At the age of 65 she died of breast cancer.
Astell wrote a great deal about a variety of subjects with several writings relating to religious and political controversies. Today she is widely known for her feminist writings which include A Serious Proposal to the Ladies and Reflections on Marriage. Mary "argues that women's shortcomings are due to lack of education and not to lack of native intellectual ability." She desired the creation of institutions for women to be educated or for them to simply live, if unmarried. In 1695, she wrote Letters Concerning the Love of God, which questioned the role of God in relation to the causes of pain and sin, as well as our reasons for loving only God. 2.) ALICE AMBROSE
Alice Ambrose Lazerowitz (November 25, 1906 – January 25, 2001) was an American philosopher, logician, and author.
Alice Ambrose was born in Lexington, Illinois and studied philosophy and mathematics at Millikin University. After completing her PhD at the University of Wisconsin in 1932, she went to Cambridge University to study with G. E. Moore and Wittgenstein, where she earned a second PhD in 1938. Having become a close disciple of Wittgenstein, she later related her association with him in Ludwig Wittgenstein: Philosophy and Language (1972), a volume co-edited with her husband Morris Lazerowitz. She was one of a select group of students to whom Wittgenstein dictated the so-called Blue and Brown Books, which outline the transition in Wittgenstein's thought between his two major works, Tractatus Logico-philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations. Wittgenstein terminated their association abruptly in 1935 when Ambrose decided, with encouragement from Moore, to publish an article entitled "Finitism in Mathematics" in the philosophical journal Mind which was intended to give an account of Wittgenstein's position on the subject.
From 1937 Ambrose taught at Smith College, and in 1964 she was appointed to the chair in philosophy there. She worked chiefly in logic and mathematical philosophy, writing a primer on the subject with her husband which became a widely-used textbook and was known as "Ambrose and Lazerowitz". She retired in 1972.
3.) Clemence Royer
Clemence Royer, another French native, published several accounts of her work. She was first recognized for her translation and personal interpretation of Darwin’s Origin of the Species Through Natural Selection, proceeding that was The Good and the Moral Law; Ethics and Teleology.
Royer feels that happiness can be reached when the egotistic minds of humans can put aside this socially constructed idea of personal well- being and focus on the common good of humans. She says that we desire happiness as much as we fight for survival, develop our strengths, and entertain our intellects. The way to achieve this “totality of pleasure” we must balance an equation developed by Royer, where the good for each entity of social groupings is the sum of all enjoyable experiences multiplied by the intensity of the experience. The bad is calculated in the same manner except we replace the enjoyable with the painful.
Royer views seem almost totalitarian in comparison with the views of America today. In post-modern society we believe in the freedom of choice. That we may browse through a smorgasbord of beliefs and ideologies, never actually committing to anything solely. We feel that each individual has the right to do whatever gives him or her pleasure. In Royer’s mind we are all egoists, digging the world a hole of unhappiness that as time passes will multiply in depth
4.) Luisa Capetillo
Luisa Capetillo (October 28, 1879 – October 10, 1922) born in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, was one of Puerto Rico's most famous labor organizers. She was also a writer and an anarchist who fought for workers and women's rights.Early years
Capetillo was raised and home schooled by her parents, who were both very liberal in regard to their philosophical and political ideologies.
In 1898, Capetillo had the first of her two children out of wedlock. She found a job as a reader in a cigar making factory in Arecibo. After the Spanish-American War, The American Tobacco Company gained control of most of the islands tobacco fields, who would hire people to read novels and current events to the workers. It was in the tobacco factory that Capetillo had her first contact with the Unions. In 1904, Capetillo began to write essays, titled "Mi Opinion" (My Opinion), about her ideas, which were published in radical and union newspapers.
[edit] Labor leader
During a farm workers' strike in 1905, Capetillo wrote propaganda and organized the workers in the strike. She quickly became a leader of the "FLT" (American Federation of Labor) and traveled throughout Puerto Rico educating and organizing women. Her hometown, Arecibo, became the most unionized area of the country.
[edit] Women's rights activist
In 1908, during the "FLT" convention, Capetillo asked the union to approve a policy for women's suffrage. She insisted that all women should have the same right to vote as men. Capetillo is considered to be one of Puerto Rico's first suffragists.
In 1912, Capetillo traveled to New York City where she organized Cuban and Puerto Rican tobacco workers. Later on, she went to Tampa, Florida where she also organized the workers. It is in Florida that she published the second edition of "Mi Opinion". She also traveled to Cuba and the Dominican Republic, where she joined the striking workers in their cause.
In 1919, she challenged the mainstream society by becoming the first woman in Puerto Rico to wear pants in public. Capetillo was sent to jail for what was then considered to be a "crime", but, the judge later dropped the charges against her. In that same year, along with other labor activists, she helped pass a minimum-wage law in the Puerto Rican Legislature.
Luisa Capetillo died on October 10, 1922 in Puerto Rico from tuberculosis.
[edit] Honors
In 1990 a made for T.V. movie titled "Luisa Capetillo, pasión de justicia" (Luisa Capetillo, passion for justice) was made. It was directed by Sonia Fritz and the musical arrangements were made by Zoraida Santiago. In Arecibo there is a Casa Protegida Luisa Capetillo, which is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to defend women who have been mistreated physically or mentally. The University of Puerto Rico, Cayey Campus established the Luisa Capetillo Center of Documentation Hall in March 1990. The center is part of the Women Studies project started in 1986 by the university and has received financial help from the Angel Ramos fundation.
