During the eighteenth century, elite women participated in the
philosophical, scientific, and political controversies that
resulted in the overthrow of monarchy, the reconceptualisation of
marriage, and the emergence of modern, democratic institutions. In
this comprehensive study, Karen Green outlines and discusses the
ideas and arguments of these women, exploring the development of
their distinctive and contrasting political positions, and their
engagement with the works of political thinkers such as Hobbes,
Locke, Mandeville and Rousseau. Her exploration ranges across
Europe from England through France, Italy, Germany and Russia, and
discusses thinkers including Mary Astell, Emilie Du Chatelet, Luise
Kulmus-Gottsched and Elisabetta Caminer Turra. This study
demonstrates the depth of women's contributions to
eighteenth-century political debates, recovering their historical
significance and deepening our understanding of this period in
intellectual history. It will provide an essential resource for
readers in political philosophy, political theory, intellectual
history, and women's studies.
