Codified in a more complex and organized way within the Rousseauian philosophy, this new conception spread in various cultural debates, gaining a real hegemony: women were meant to be excluded from any \"public\" space, devoid of cultural aspirations, and only devoted to satisfying the needs of the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book adopts a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and synthetic approach and at the same time highlights the \"roots\" of some fundamental ways of considering women that are still active in present-day society. It also addresses researchers in the history of philosophy, sociology, literature, and gender studies, and readers with an interest in women’s issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54262992699736,"sku":"9781032110714","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032110714.jpg?v=1780403459","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/women-in-the-french-enlightenment-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
