Drawing on a wide range of political and feminist texts, it sets out to demonstrate that the dominant discourse which upholds patriarchy at the time is frequently in conflict with alternative discourses which frame gynaecocracy as a feasible, and laudable reality, and which reconfigure (wittingly or unwittingly) the normative paradigm of male authority. Central to the argument is an analysis of how the discourse which constructs government as a male prerogative quite simply implodes when juxtaposed with the traditional political discourse of virtue ethics. The study draws on the existing work concerning queenship but innovates in its focus on the literary, feminist, and philosophical representations of female governance in France"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Queens $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Princesses $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Sex role $x History $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Matriarchy $x History $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Virtue $x History $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Monarchy $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) $z France $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a France $x Politics and government $y 17th century. 650 0 $a French drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Queens in literature. 650 0 $a Princesses in literature. 650 0 $a Women in literature. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Europe $x France. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x 17th Century. $x 17th Century. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Social History. $2 bisacsh 830 0 $a Queenship and power. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211030323.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F8F9E520ECCE11E5A64DF5B3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
