Women Are Up to Something is a lively intellectual history that traces the unlikely origin of modern virtue ethics through the collaboration and debates of three remarkable philosophers: Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, and Iris Murdoch. Benjamin J. B. Lipscomb combines biography and philosophy to show how these women reshaped moral thought in midcentury Britain, in a story that is as much about friendship, conviction, and ambition as it is about ideas.
