女性在哲学界的现状一点也不乐观。越来越多的女哲学家抱怨她们的工作状况，抱怨她们受到骚扰、气馁、孤立或被忽视。许多轶事被张贴在网上论坛和博客，如beingawomaninphilosophy.wordpress.com/or feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/。除此之外，人们可以简单地观察到，在哲学系工作、在哲学会议上发表演讲以及在哲学期刊上发表文章的男性比女性多得多。Katrina Hutchison和Fiona Jenkins对这些问题做出了反应，并发表了一系列关于可能原因和补救措施的代表性论文。主要是，这本书试图回答两个问题：如何排除妇女在哲学工作？为了改善这种情况，我们应该做些什么呢？在我开始讨论之前，必须先说三点。首先，书中不止一次提到，女性在哲学领域面临的问题可能也为其他代表性不足的群体成员所熟知，例如有色人种、残疾人或同性恋者，并且还强调人们属于不止一个社会群体。虽然本书的重点是妇女的处境，但它也揭示了其他弱势群体的困难。第二，需要强调的是，这些问题对其他科学学科的妇女也是众所周知的。正如一开始所提到的，“对有问题的性别差距的看法只集中在STEM学科上，而被认为社会重要性较低的领域，如哲学，尽管存在高度可比的代表性不足和缺乏女性资历，但却没有得到更广泛机构的有针对性的回应。第三，不仅是出于公平、平等和自由等社会原因，妇女应该有同样的机会（在同样好的条件下）在同一个国家工作，
The current situation of women in philosophy is not rosy at all. There are a raising number of complaints from female philosophers about their working situation, about getting harassed, discouraged, isolated, or simply ignored. Numerous anecdotes are posted in online forums and weblogs, such as beingawomaninphilosophy.wordpress.com/or feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/. Apart from that, one can simply observe that much more men than women are employed in philosophical departments, give talks at philosophical conferences, and have articles published in philosophical journals. Katrina Hutchison and Fiona Jenkins have reacted to these problems and published a representative selection of essays on possible causes and remedies. Mainly, the book seeks to answer two questions: How does the exclusion of women in philosophy work? And what are we to do in order to improve the situation? Before I start the discussion, three preliminary remarks must be made. First, it is mentioned more than once in the book that the problems women in philosophy face are probably well-known to members of other underrepresented groups as well, such as people of color, disabled people, or homosexuals, and it is also stressed that people belong to more than one social group. Though the focus of this book is on the situation of women, it casts a light on the difficulties of other disadvantaged groups, too. Second, it is emphasized that these problems are well-known to women in other scientific disciplines as well. As mentioned right in the beginning, ‘‘the perception of a problematic gender gap is only focused on the STEM disciplines, while areas perceived as less socially important, such as philosophy, slip under the radar and lack targeted responses from wider agencies despite having highly comparable underrepresentation and lack of seniority of women.’’ (3, n4) Third, it is not only for social reasons such as fairness, equality, and freedom that women should have the same opportunities to work (under equally good conditions) in
