Deliberating the Heroine in Early Modern French Women¿s Theater argues that seventeenth- and eighteenth-century women playwrights used their heroines as a vehicle through which to question traditional views on women. Author Theresa Kennedy argues that only the ¿deliberative heroine, ¿ based on Enlightenment ideals-such as women¿s ability to rationalize and the complex interplay between reason and sentiment-truly liberates female characters from a history of traditional roles.
