Nah!
Those 3 isms and anarchism have always had plenty of women contributing to their development. Mind you not all of them had their contributions publicly acknowledged.
For instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Taylor
Perhaps white, educated, wealthy males have always been the best at blowing their own trumpets, while women, blacks, people not educated at Oxbridge etc have usually had their contributions go unrecognized. |
