This fascinating book examines what sixteen radical and
conservative, famous and notorious British women wrote about their
sex in the 1790s. It offers the most comprehensive survey of what
they thought about their fellow women with regard to love, sexual
desire and marriage; their domestic roles and their engagement in
the 'public' sphere; and issues of gender and female abilities
including sensibility and genius. How contemporary reviewers
divided women writers into 'unsex'd' and 'proper' is investigated,
as is the issue of whether they attempted to exclude women from
certain kinds of writing. The book reveals the depth of female
complaint but contends that women did not passively submit.
Conservative and radicals alike sought to extend their sphere of
activity, to reform men, challenge gender stereotypes and propose
that a woman should be a self for herself and her God rather than
for her husband. -- .
