British Women and the Intellectual World in the Long Eighteenth Century. Edited by Teresa Barnard

Highlighting the remarkable women who found ways around the constraints placed on their intellectual growth, this collection shows that long eighteenth-century women usurped subjects perceived as masculine to contribute to scientific, political, philosophical and theological debate and progress. This volume goes beyond traditional readings of women’s creativity to add fresh, sometimes controversial, insights into the female view of the intellectual world. Teresa Barnard.
