  • 20 Avoiding Bias with Emily Brontë - Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history
    Nov 28 2025

    Avoiding Bias with Emily Brontë

    - Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history -

    In today's episode of The Female Stoic Podcast we are discussing Bias and understanding the importance of objectivity when interacting with others, and also,ourselves.

    Today’s novel is Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

    Rather than the Omniscient narration of say, Shirley byCharlotte - a 3rd person narrator seeing all and knowing all - or the epistolary narration in the Tenant of wildfell hall by Anne – the narration related through letters or journal entries, this books has a complex dual-narrative structure with two main narrators, both often unreliable: Mr. Lockwood and Nelly Dean.

    And I think in part this is why I struggled with it at times...

  • 19 Stoic Humility with Charles Dickens - Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history -
    Nov 21 2025

    Stoic Humility with Charles Dickens

    - Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history -

    In today's episode of The Female Stoic Podcast we are discussing Humility in the novella Christmas carol by Charles dickens

    The original publication date for Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol is December 19,1843. It was an instant success, with the first edition selling out by Christmas Eve.

    Like many of Dickens’ other works, A Christmas Carol was written as a work of social commentary. Dickens had a lifelong devotion to helping the underserved due to his own family’s experiences with debtors prison, which forced him to drop out of school as a boy and work at a factory.

    As Dickens’ biographer Michael Slater described, the author thought of A Christmas Carol as a way to, “help open the hearts of the prosperous and powerful towards the poor and powerless…."

    And we could argue this is a stoic approach to that same sense of loss that scrooge had,

    And dickens triumphs here, because he, as an author, is in alignment with his purpose. He had been proactive in his response to something as devastating as loss and poverty.

    Nov 14 2025

    Stoic Loss and Virgina Woolf

    Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual history -

    Today in The Female Stoic Podcast we are talking about Virginia Woolf - the pioneering 20th-century English novelist, essayist, and avid journaler.

    Woolf used her diary as a practice ground for her published works.

    Journalling is an important part of Stoic Practise. And in this episode we compare the two journaling styles: free flowing consciousness versus a more structured approach, and come to understand the nuanced benefits of both.
