It's by no means your fault. I think it's only reasonable to say that Philosophy is a discipline which develops powerful "schools" of thought and that they actively dismiss people outside their school unless they become too big to ignore. So many women would not have been encouraged to continue in Philosophy as their experience leads them into distinct channels of thought.
The book Metaphysical Animals covers this in some detail and gives an interesting account of the Anscombe Wittgenstein relationship also.
