This is the first comprehensive study of Poulain, a dropout from theology studies at the Sorbonne who embraced the philosophy of Descartes, decried the injustice and absurdity of women’s subjection, and assembled an original social philosophy. His writings are the most radically egalitarian texts to appear in Europe before the French Revolution.
