Burst of thanks from all sides to dear Profs. Shay, Kathryn, Ann, Charlotte et al,
With this litany of encouragement, I dare say I'll try this -- trusting others will too;
I never even knew one could present on one's own the published material that appears in philpapers. always thought it was someone else determining the choices, reinforcing the male dominated canon, as is the way of all canons, never thought twice that this institution was deconstructible in practice.
So greatly appreciated; thank you Dr. Welch at Spelman.
(are you sure there is no chance the computer could blow up if one tries this?)

I'm not just saying "ditto" here (though i am saying that as well), but pointing out that in order to increase the number of citations of women (I'm sure members of the list have seen Kieran Healy's study http://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2013/06/19/lewis-and-the-women/ ) we need to make sure that women's work is easily accessible (ok, that's not sufficient, but it can't hurt). PhilPapers listings appear close to the top of searches --at least the ones my computer is trained to do.
Just search for yourself in PhilPapers.org and see what work of yours isn't there (or isn't categorized properly--correct categorizing helps!) and upload it. It really doesn't take long. It's particularly important to upload papers that were in books rather than journals. They get overlooked more easily.

Thanks Shay for explaining how to add a profile and papers. I'm editing Feminist History of Philosophy and I invite & encourage everyone to add their work to this category (as well as the others of course).

>>As the philpapers editor for Continental Feminism and Poststructural Feminism, I'd like to second this. If you have work that broadly fits into either of these two categories please do the same! (In fact this goes for all the categories within feminist philosophy. As Philpapers broadens its reach it's extremely important that our work is as well-represented there as possible, and we all know about women's traditional reluctance in the area of self-promotion! Please take a moment!)

>>Dear FEASTies,
>>
>>I'm editor of the Feminist Ethics category in philpapers. I'm finding a dearth of listings in this area. When attempting to list key works on the category page I was surprised to find that a number of core monographs and edited anthologies is not listed. I attempted to add some but the amount of time it would take me to get all the good stuff in would be substantial and I'm a bit short on time right now. Please take the time to go in an list your publications- this will also give rise to more citation (junior faculty, I'm looking at you!). Simply go in and make a profile, if you do not have one, and then click submit material from the blue menu at the top and then choose "submit". The tricky part is choosing the category after you've given the publication info. Go to value theory- philo of sex, gender- feminist philo- feminist approaches- then feminist ethics and select. I'm being as inclusive as possible so if your work even addresses
normative issues, please add yourself!
