I also noticed the apparent absence of ancient female philosophers, although there is a whole host of 20th-century and contemporary female philosophers.
Always wondered that, too. Part of the full explanation in the book was that it's hard to keep records that survive that far back (even from men) and especially if the material is controversial. Though I really admire the work of Hypatia of Alexandria. I have some material planned with content about her ❤
