Why are there so few women philosophers?

Do you mean today or historically?

(To be clear - there are today a lot of women holding FT academic positions in philosophy departments, but they represent something like ~20% of the field.  So, we might say there are *relatively* few.)

ETA - Also, it turns out that even in history you can find women philosophers working on all sorts of things, but often in ways which goes unrecognized (ex: Christine de Pizan).  Still, of course, there is a huge difference in proportion.
