About This Book

This scholarly study traces the development of early campaigns for female emancipation by analyzing philosophical and literary debates that shaped ideas about women's status, surveying French and English contexts. It outlines main theories about women's nature and rights, examines the rise of feminist voices in France, details social conditions that constrained French women, assesses feminist and anti-feminist currents among English Augustans and Bluestockings, and considers the radical arguments associated with Mary Wollstonecraft.
