Description

Explore the connection between gender and the rise of modern science in early modern France. This study by Rebecca Wilkin uses medical, juridical, and philosophical texts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to examine how the concept of womanhood influenced scientific thought. By looking at the period from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth century, the book highlights a time of intense experimentation and epistemological anxiety. It traces how thinkers navigated contradictory representations of women during this era. Readers will learn how skeptics like Montaigne, Marie de Gournay, and Agrippa von Nettesheim challenged existing gender hierarchies and blurred traditional gender differences. This work provides a deep look into the intellectual shifts that shaped the early modern world and the evolving understanding of truth and science.
