Description

This groundbreaking scholarly work examines how representations of women shaped the emergence of modern science in sixteenth and seventeenth-century France. Drawing on medical, juridical, and philosophical texts, Rebecca Wilkin explores the epistemological anxiety and intellectual experimentation of this transformative period. The study reveals how key thinkers including Montaigne, Marie de Gournay, and Agrippa von Nettesheim challenged gender hierarchies and blurred conventional gender distinctions, fundamentally influencing how knowledge was understood and pursued. Part of the Women and Gender in the Early Modern World series, this book provides essential insights into the intersection of gender studies, history of science, and early modern European thought.

Key Features

Discusses how sceptical philosophers including Montaigne, Marie de Gournay, and Agrippa von Nettesheim subverted established gender hierarchies through their intellectual work.

Part of the Women and Gender in the Early Modern World series published by Routledge, providing scholarly context within gender history studies.
