 Anscombe famously flouted gender conventions: she did not take her husband’s name, she frequently wore men’s clothes, she smoked cigars, and she was prone to cursing and vulgar speech. Although influenced by several men – Frege, Wittgenstein, Geach, various Catholic thinkers historical and contemporaneous – Anscombe was a fiercely independent and original philosopher. Those who suspect she merely echoed or applied the views of another person are sorely mistaken.
