== Early life and education ==
Rae Langton was born in 1961 in Ludhiana, India. She attended Hebron School, Coonoor and Ootacamund, India. In 1980 she moved to Australia and attended the University of New England. In 1981 she enrolled at the University of Sydney where she majored in philosophy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://cambridge.academia.edu/RaeLangton/CurriculumVitae )〕 There she became interested in Kant. Her Honours thesis argued that Kant's scientific realism did not fit with his idealism. She graduated with First Class Honours in 1986. She was one of a group of women honours graduates at the time encouraged to continue their studies by applying to graduate school in the United States.
In 1986 Langton moved to the United States and began graduate work at Princeton University in the philosophy department.〔 While studying social philosophy at Princeton she became interested in the philosophical debates on free speech and pornography.〔 In 1990, in response to Ronald Dworkin's ''Is There a Right to Pornography?'', she published ''Whose right? Ronald Dworkin, Women, and Pornographers''. In it she argued that the positions Dworkin takes on segregation and affirmative action are not consistent with his position in defence of pornography. The paper was voted one of the ten best articles in philosophy that year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.philosophersannual.org/ )〕 Langton received her PhD in 1995 from Princeton.〔 Her thesis advisor was Margaret Dauler Wilson;〔 and her thesis topic was ''Kantian Humility''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://philosophy.princeton.edu/sites/philosophy/files/documents/alumni/PhDs_by_last_name.pdf )〕
She is married to fellow philosopher Richard Holton.〔
