Author. Philosopher. Polymath.

What changes when women begin asking their own questions about spirituality, enlightenment, and what it means to change the world?

Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt has spent years chasing that question through philosophy, psychology, feminism, neuroscience, spirituality, culture, and her own life.

A twice-doctored philosopher and author of four books published by Random House, Victoria writes for women who are curious about the deeper questions of consciousness, meaning, and personal and cultural transformation. Her essays, cultural criticism, memoir, and academic work explore the strange and fascinating territory where feminist thought, philosophy, culture, spiritual neuroscience, and women’s inner lives meet.

Sometimes the questions are serious. Sometimes they’re irreverent. Usually they lead somewhere unexpected as in – Who gets to define enlightenment, and what changes when women enter the conversation?
