The Philosopher Queens began as a manifesto written by Rachel Haywire. The manifesto expresses discontent at the impoverishment of feminine archetypes in the popular discourse, and prophesies the rise of the femme fatales who will take their place as Philosopher Queens. The manifesto prompted a collaboration between Raven Connolly and Rachel to spread the current and draw more women into the public discourse of these ideas. The Philosopher Queens panel, hosted at the digital campfire The Stoa, began as an exploration of dark feminine archetypes and grew to include discussions with guests, ranging from Golden Shadow podcast host Alyssa Polizzi to post academic Nina Power. Now Rachel and Raven are back to reflect on their journey and discuss where Philosopher Queens originates and what the future holds.
