More about the book
Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this influential 1792 work presents one of the earliest arguments for women's intellectual and emotional equality with men. It challenges the prevailing 18th-century belief that women should be confined to domestic education and roles. The author passionately critiques the societal norms that demand women's docility and virtue, advocating for their elevation and education as a means to achieve true equality. The book sparked significant debate in both England and France, marking a pivotal moment in protofeminist thought.
