In this rich and detailed study of early modern women's thought,
Jacqueline Broad explores the complexity of women's responses to
Cartesian philosophy and its intellectual legacy in England and
Europe. She examines the work of thinkers such as Mary Astell,
Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway and Damaris
Masham, who were active participants in the intellectual life of
their time and were also the respected colleagues of philosophers
such as Descartes, Leibniz and Locke. She also illuminates the
continuities between early modern women's thought and the
anti-dualism of more recent feminist thinkers. The result is a more
gender-balanced account of early modern thought than has hitherto
been available. Broad's clear and accessible exploration of this
still-unfamiliar area will have a strong appeal to both students
and scholars in the history of philosophy, women's studies and the
history of ideas.
