I think you're off by a few miles.  She was (still is, I think) at
University of Illinois at Chicago.

As another teaser, have you ever wondered why the "feminist philosophers"
all seem to have a certain political perspective -- as though this
somehow is a part of the essential nature of feminism or feminist
philosophy?  If you want to get a job as a "feminist philosopher" you
not only have to teach "feminist issues", but you have to teach them
in a certain *way*, from a certain point of view.  Any feminist
philosophers out there who are Ayn Rand followers?  Any feminist
philosophers who would, under any objective criterion, be considered
"right" of center rather than "left"?
