That book looked quite interesting, it probably would be interesting to read for learning moore about the enlightment time as well. I also have to admit that some of these philosophers were unknown for me as well.
Another thing I forgot to mention is the picture of Hypatia is a detail from 'The School of Athens' (Raphael), -the left in the painting behind and between Parmenides and Pythagoras. Found a image to click at each person here: http://www.newbanner.com/AboutPic/athena/raphael/nbi_ath4.html

That's fascinating about Émilie du Châtelet - I'm ashamed to say I didn't know who she was. Clearly an amazing woman. I must get see if the library has the book by Judith Zinsser about her ("La Dame d'Esprit: A Biography of The Marquise Du Châtelet" - it looks promising).

Thats a funny coincidence, im glad you liked the game!:) There is a lot of interesting names here, but there is very few famous female names in philosophy, and there are different reasons for it, but im sure that many of these deserves more attencion that they got in the past.
some examples:
Diotima is belived to the the tutor of Socrates and important in Plato's 'Symposium' (her ideas are the origin of the concept of Platonic love)
Theres also made a movie about Hypatia, (head of the Platonist school at Alexandria (300 CE) called 'AGORA' (2009)
Émilie du Châtelet ( French mathematician, physicist, translator (Newton) and author, had an relationship to Voltaire, that declared in a letter to his friend King Frederick II of Prussia that du Châtelet was "a great man whose only fault was being a woman". (!!)

An excellent and very interesting game. 5*
And what a coincidence - I'm listening to some of Hidegard of Bingen's music at the same time as playing this game.
