Vigdis Songe-Møller
Vigdis Songe-Møller (born 1 April 1949) is a Norwegian philosopher, Professor Emerita of Philosophy at the University of Bergen.[1] "When it comes to feminist philosophy proper in Norway, the field has been dominated by two figures, namely, Professor Emerita Else Wiestad, of the University of Oslo, and Vigdis Songe-Møller."[2]
Songe-Møller's Philosophy without Women was a feminist exploration of ancient philosophy.[2] Her own experience as a pregnant woman – for whom "the Parmenidean idea of all things existing ultimately as one and self-identical is, to say the least, far from self-evident" – led her to investigate connections between "the Greek philosophers' ideals of unity, self-identity and eternity and their attitudes towards sexuality, reproduction and sexual difference."[3]
