This ground-breaking book surveys the history of women's political
thought in Europe from the late medieval period to the early modern
era. The authors examine women's ideas about topics such as the
basis of political authority, the best form of political
organisation, justifications of obedience and resistance, and
concepts of liberty, toleration, sociability, equality, and
self-preservation. Women's ideas concerning relations between the
sexes are discussed in tandem with their broader political
outlooks; and the authors demonstrate that the development of a
distinctively sexual politics is reflected in women's critiques of
marriage, the double standard, and women's exclusion from
government. Women writers are also shown to be indebted to the
ancient idea of political virtue, and to be acutely aware of being
part of a long tradition of female political commentary. This work
will be of tremendous interest to political philosophers,
historians of ideas, and feminist scholars alike.
