The first issues of the journal Hypatia, published from 1983 through1985, truly heralded the rebirth of a feminist philosophy. Women in philosophy hadbeen silenced since the days of the fourth-century Alexandrian woman philosopher andmathematician, Hypatia. With the establishment of the journal by the Society forWomen in Philosophy (SWIP), feminist issues and philosophy were legitimized. Thefirst three issues of the journal were actually published as special issues ofWomen's Studies International Forum. From this unique incubational arrangement, thejournal has grown to be a successful independent voice for feminist philosophicalconcerns. In response to demand, essays from those early, now out-of-print issuesare being published in book form as a testament to the rebirth of feministphilosophy.
