More about the book
Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this groundbreaking 1792 work challenges the prevailing views of women's roles in society. It argues passionately for the recognition of women as intellectual and emotional equals to men, responding to contemporary debates sparked by Talleyrand's assertion that women's education should be limited to domestic affairs. The book serves as a powerful critique of late-18th-century European attitudes that demanded women's submission and virtue, advocating instead for their societal elevation and empowerment.
