This book deals with a question that currently has a great deal of
resonance among historians, feminists, and literary scholars: How
was the nature of women redefined and debated during the French
Enlightenment? Instead of treating the Enlightenment in the usual
manner, as a challenge to orthodox ideas and social conventions,
Lieselotte Steinbrugge interprets it as a deviation from a position
staked out in the seventeenth century, namely, "the mind has no
sex." In breaking with that view, the philosophes shifted the
debate to categories like morality and sensitivity and took up
economic issues as well. They inadvertently backed women into the
corner of domesticity, where middle-class women remained for some
time to come.
