In the seventeenth century, the gifted writer Marie le Jars de
Gournay (1565-1645) was celebrated as one of the "seventy most
famous women of all time" in Jean de la Forge's "Circle of Learned
Women "(1663). The adopted daughter of Montaigne, as well as his
editor, Gournay was a major literary force and a pioneering
feminist voice during a tumultuous period in France.
This volume presents translations of four of Gournay's works that
address feminist issues. Two of these appear here in English for
the first time-"The Promenade of Monsieur de Montaigne" and "The
Apology for the Woman Writing," One of the first modern
psychological novels, the best-selling Promenade was also the first
to explore female sexual feeling. With the autobiographical
Apology, Gournay defended every aspect of her life, from her moral
conduct to her household management. The book also includes
Gournay's last revisions (1641) of her two best-known feminist
treatises, "The Equality of Men and Women" and "The Ladies'
Complaint," The editors provide a general overview of Gournay's
career, as well as individual introductions and extensive
annotations for each work.
