Publisher's summary


History remembers the giants of Early Modern philosophy – Descartes, Locke, Leibniz. But behind the scenes, a revolution of the mind was brewing. In salons, letters, and sometimes disguised publications, women were wrestling with the same questions about reality, science, and society as their more famous male counterparts.

Uncover the hidden world of women like Margaret Cavendish, a Duchess whose bold theories and flamboyant persona defied expectations, or Anne Conway, wrestling with the profound connection between mind and universe. Meet Émilie du Châtelet, who defied tradition with her sharp mind and groundbreaking translation of Isaac Newton.
Discover the forgotten voices of Damaris Masham, friend of John Locke and a philosopher in her own right, or Mary Astell, a fierce advocate for women's education in an age that stifled female intellect.

This book is an invitation to step out of the shadows of history and into the world of remarkable women who dared to think for themselves. Their struggles and triumphs will forever change your understanding of Early Modern philosophy. It's more than just expanding the list of names we know – it's about seeing the true diversity of thought that bloomed even within limitations.
