women and IQ
fiction
edward w pritchard
Author writes recently in "Tesla at the Pennsylvania [hotel in NYC] of history's tendency to forget women of high IQ, in effect ignoring their existence once they are gone.
Currently among many books I am reading a little at at time one is by the woman philosopher Iris Murdoch.The book is "Metaphysics as a guide to morals". Certainly not a book most Americans would be interested in but one in which I think we are hearing from a very high IQ woman writer. She explores many of the issues of philosophy and explains them very briefly like a Bertrand Russell or Will Durant for the general reader.
Among many subjects discussed by Iris Murdoch in a guide to morals is the needed for people to demonstrate loving kindness and to protect as two of the highest moral values. It's time to recognize women writers and artists of the past despite the paucity of praise their contemporaries sent forward to us about the value of their works.
