When I was in Berlin studying philosophy in the late 80s and early 90s Herta Nagl-Docekal was for me THE feminist philosopher. There were not that many feminist philosophers in German speaking philosophy in those days, and certainly very few who held positions in the philosophy departments. Herta Nagl-Docekal´s accomplishments are therefore so remarkable and her works so great and so important. Herta Nagl-Docekal has written extensively on the history of philosophy and on contemporary issues in feminist philosophy. She has also been on the steering committee of FISP and has been incredibly effective in supporting women and consolidating feminst approaches in philosophy.
Dear Herta. My best wishes for your birthday, and for your present and future work in philosophy.
