Louise Dupin's Work on Women
Angebote / Angebote:
Work on Women is the French Enlightenment's most in-depth feminist analysis of inequality-and its most neglected one. In it, Louise Dupin, also known as Madame Dupin (1706-1799), reveals the sexist bias ("masculine vanity") that informs the knowledge and institutions that shape women's lives and argues that the subjection of women is a modern phenomenon, based on an illegitimate, abusive marriage contract. This is the first-ever edition of selected
translations of Dupin's massive project, developed from manuscript drafts. Robust introductions to the text contextualize Dupin's working methods-including the role of her secretary, Jean-Jacques Rousseau-and emphasize the importance of feminist thought to the development of moral and political
philosophy.
