  text: "This collection of essays presents new work on women’s contribution to philosophy
    between the Renaissance and the mid-eighteenth century. They bring a new perspective
    to the history of philosophy, by highlighting women’s contributions to philosophy
    and testifying to the rich history of women’s thought in this period.\r\n\r\nBy
    showing that women were active in many branches of philosophy (metaphysics, science,
    political philosophy cosmology, ontology, epistemology) the book testifies to
    the rich history of women’s thought across Europe in this period. The scope of
    the collection is international, both in terms of the philosophers represented
    and the contributors themselves from Britain and North America, but also from
    continental Europe and from as far afield as Australia and Brazil. The philosophers
    discussed here include both figures who have recently come to be better known
    (Elisabeth of Bohemia, Anne Conway, Mary Astell, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, Emilie
    du Châtelet), and less familiar figures (Moderata Fonte, Lucrezia Marinella Arcangela
    Tarabotti, Tullia d’Aragona, Madame Deshoulières, Madame de Sablé, Angélique de
    Saint-Jean Arnauld d’Andilly, Olivia Sabuco, Susanna Newcome).\r\n\r\nThe chapters
    in this book were originally published as a special issue of the British Journal
    for the History of Philosophy."
