Advocate and exemplar of women's education, female of aristocratic
birth and modest demeanor, Anna Maria van Schurman (1607-1678) was
one of Reformation Europe's most renowned writers defending women's
intelligence. From her early teens, Schurman garnered recognition
and admiration for her accomplishments in languages, philosophy,
poetry, and painting. As an adult she actively engaged in written
correspondence and debate with Europe's leading intellectuals.
Nevertheless, Schurman refused to regard herself as an anomaly
among women. A supporter of the female sex, she argues that the
same rigorous education that shaped her should be made available to
all Christian daughters of the aristocracy.
Gathered here in meticulous translation are Anna Maria van
Schurman's defense of women's education, her letters to other
learned women, and her own account of her early life, as well as
responses to her work from male contemporaries, and rare writings
by Schurman's mentor, Voetius. This volume will interest the
general reader as well as students of women's, religious, and
social history.
