The book paints a vivid portrait of four influential college friends—Iris Murdoch, Philippa Foot, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Mary Midgley—who established a groundbreaking philosophical tradition during World War II while their male counterparts were away. It explores their intellectual camaraderie and the impact of their ideas on philosophy, showcasing how these women navigated a male-dominated field and contributed significantly to ethical thought. Their unique perspectives and collaborative spirit shaped a new intellectual landscape in Oxford.
