Oxford, 1 de mayo de 1956. En la solemnidad de la Biblioteca Bodleiana, el claustro de la universidad se ha reunido para decidir si se le concede un honoris causa al expresidente de los Estados Unidos Harry S. Truman. Una de las personas presentes, la filósofa Elizabeth Anscombe, se opone con vehemencia, porque considera que este reconocimiento no debe concederse a quien, al ordenar el bombardeo de Hiroshima y Nagasaki, fue culpable de la muerte de miles de inocentes. En unos tiempos en que la filosofía había virado hacia los métodos analíticos y científicos del positivismo lógico, ella y sus colegas y amigas en Oxford Philippa Foot, Iris Murdoch y Mary Midgley, bajo el impacto de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, consideraron que la filosofía debía afrontar de nuevo las grandes preguntas éticas: ¿qué es moralmente correcto? ¿Qué principios morales deberíamos seguir? ¿Existe un criterio objetivo de moralidad? Este libro reconstruye la peripecia vital e intelectual de estas cuatro mujeres que dejaron su huella en la filosofía, en unos tiempos en que esta disciplina estaba dominada por los hombres.
