Highlighting the remarkable women who found ways around the constraints placed on their intellectual growth, this collection shows that long eighteenth-century writers usurped subjects perceived as masculine to contribute to scientific, political, philosophical and theological debate and progress. This multifaceted volume goes beyond traditional readings of women¿s creativity to add fresh, at times controversial, insights into the female view of the intellectual world.
