Karene Jade Howie - Student of Philosophy and overworked shop keeper!Hello and welcome to the Philosophy Shop.

We really like philosophers and other creative thinkers of Human history - the Philosophy Shop represents several years work collecting over 500 quotes and portraits from many of the greatest minds of the past 3,000 years. Over the past 5 years the Philosophy Gift Shop has been one of the most popular shops at Cafepress - out of roughly 6 million shops! (Cafepress are a print on demand online shop and top 1000 website. They sell products world wide and have a full 30 day refund, making it a safe place to buy some very cool gifts for yourself and your friends.)

Famous Women / Feminists: Science Art Philosophy Feminism

'I divided my time between courses, experimental work, and study in the library. In the evening I worked in my room, sometimes very late into the night. All that I saw and learned that was new delighted me. It was like a new world opened to me, the world of science, which I was at last permitted to know in all liberty.' (Marie Curie)We have a unique gallery of Inspiring Women who have contributed to Science, Philosophy, Feminism, Activism, Politics & Suffragists, Literature and the Arts. Our collection includes portraits (pictures) and quotes from famous female philosophers, scientists, feminists and artists - Sappho, Hypatia, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette, Mary Wollstonecraft, Jane Austen, Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Emmeline Pankhurst, Mary Shelly, Marie Curie, Anais Nin, Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Iris Murdoch.
I will be adding much more to this collection over time, as I am a feminist and think it is important to acknowledge and promote positive intelligent female role models. I also have a few interesting webpages on Feminism, Marie Curie and Simone de Beauvoir on our Physics Philosophy website (include biographies, pictures, quotes).

We hope you find our selection interesting, inspiring, fun and useful! Cheers!
