Call for Nominations: Distinguished Woman Philosopher 2013 (Kukla)

Each year the Eastern Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy comes together to honor a woman philosopher whose contributions to the support of women in philosophy and to philosophy itself are outstanding and merit special recognition.
