Republic of Women recaptures a lost chapter in the narrative of
intellectual history. It tells the story of a transnational network
of female scholars who were active members of the
seventeenth-century republic of letters and demonstrates that this
intellectual commonwealth was a much more eclectic and diverse
assemblage than has been assumed. These seven scholars - Anna Maria
van Schurman, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, Marie de Gournay,
Marie du Moulin, Dorothy Moore, Bathsua Makin and Katherine Jones,
Lady Ranelagh - were philosophers, schoolteachers, reformers and
mathematicians. They hailed from England, Ireland, Germany, France
and the Netherlands, and together with their male colleagues - men
like Descartes, Huygens, Hartlib and Montaigne - they represented
the spectrum of contemporary approaches to science, faith, politics
and the advancement of learning. Carol Pal uses their collective
biography to reconfigure the intellectual biography of early modern
Europe, offering a new, expanded analysis of the
seventeenth-century community of ideas.
