From her early teens, Schurman garnered recognition and admiration for her accomplishments in languages, philosophy, poetry, and painting. As an adult she actively engaged in written correspondence and debate with Europe's leading intellectuals. Nevertheless, Schurman refused to regard herself as an anomaly among women. A supporter of the female sex, she argues that the same rigorous education that shaped her should be made available to all Christian daughters of the aristocracy. Gathered here in meticulous translation are Anna Maria van Schurman's defense of women's education, her letters to other learned women, and her own account of her early life, as well as responses to her work from male contemporaries, and rare writings by Schurman's mentor, Voetius. This volume will interest the general reader as well as students of women's, religious, and social history.Other voice in early modern Europe.WomenReligious aspectsChristianityWomenReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrines17th centurySourcesWomen in ChristianityWomen in the Reformed ChurchEuropeHistory17th centurySourcesChristian womenEducationReformed ChurchDoctrinesReformed ChurchDoctrinesHistory17th centurySourcesWomenReligious aspectsChristianity.WomenReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesWomen in Christianity.Women in the Reformed ChurchHistoryChristian womenEducation.Reformed ChurchDoctrines.Reformed ChurchDoctrinesHistory305.42Schurman Anna Maria van1607-1678.889050Irwin Joyce L1169063Voet Gijsbert1589-1676.869000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826678903321Whether a Christian woman should be educated and other writings from her intellectual circle3981561UNINA
