In so doing, it aims to contribute towards the development of the history of equality as an intellectual category within the history of political thought, and to situate "the woman question" within that history. The eleven essays in the volume span the fields of political theory, philosophy, literature, history and history of ideas, bringing together literary scholars, historians, philosophers and scholars of political thought, and examine an extensive range of primary sources. While most of the chapters focus on the conceptualisation of a moral, metaphysical or intellectual equality between the sexes, space is also given to concrete examples of a de facto gender equality in operation. The volume is aimed at scholars and graduate students of political thought, history of philosophy, women's history and gender studies alike. It aims to throw light on the history of Western ideas of equality and difference, questions which continue to preoccupy cultural historians, philosophers, political theorists and feminist critics" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sex role $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Sex role $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Equality $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Equality $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Women intellectuals $z France $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Women intellectuals $z France $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a Equality $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00914456 650 7 $a Sex role $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114598 650 7 $a Women intellectuals $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178059 650 7 $a Women's rights $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178818 651 7 $a France $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Conroy, Derval, $e editor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Towards an equality of the sexes in early modern France $d New York : Routledge, 2021. $z 9780429275203 $w (DLC) 2020041787 830 0 $a Routledge studies in Renaissance and early modern worlds of knowledge. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020019.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE05A8F0323411EC8B1165C359ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
