  Following suit, Monelisa Lina Pérez Marchand, Victoria Junco Posadas, Olga Victoria Quiroz Martínez, Rosa Krauze, Elsa Cecilia Frost, Vera Yamuni, and María del Carmen Rovira Gaspar entered academic philosophy in Mexico in the middle of the 20th century through the seminars of José Gaos (Gargallo 2015, Other Internet Resources). Notable among these is Vera Yamuni (1917–2003) and María del Carmen Rovira, who recognized the importance of doing philosophy from a Latin American perspective with a keen eye toward the specificities of women. Rovira would apply this methodology to historicism and Yamuni to humanism (Gargallo 2009: 423). Yamuni is particularly important as her work and place in the academy influenced many generations of feminist philosophers. She was a transnational thinker born of Lebanese parents in Costa Rica, although she did most of her studying, teaching, and writing in Mexico. Yamuni studied under Gaos and would dedicate a part of her intellectual career to engaging with the work of Gaos, notably critiquing his misogyny. She further dedicated time to translate texts from English and Arabic to Spanish, reflecting her commitment to creating conditions of philosophical access (Prada Ortiz 2013: 71). However, she is notably remembered as a feminist thinker through her work on Sappho, Virginia Woolf, and Simone de Beauvoir, as well as her feminist analysis of the role of women in the history of philosophy. Her writing conceptually explored sameness and difference long before it became a hotbed of feminist philosophical analysis in the 1990s (Prada Ortiz 2013: 87). Her influence as a feminist philosopher is profound as she has been cited as the first to introduce feminist philosophy into Mexico by her student Graciela Hierro, who became an iconic figure of Latin American feminist philosophy in the 1980s and 1990s (Prada Ortiz 2013: 83).
