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. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aWomen$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aWomen$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines$y17th century$vSources 606 $aWomen in Christianity 606 $aWomen in the Reformed Church$zEurope$xHistory$y17th century$vSources 606 $aChristian women$xEducation 606 $aReformed Church$xDoctrines 606 $aReformed Church$xDoctrines$xHistory$y17th century$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aWomen$xReligious aspects$xChristianity$xHistory of doctrines 615 0$aWomen in Christianity. 615 0$aWomen in the Reformed Church$xHistory 615 0$aChristian women$xEducation. 615 0$aReformed Church$xDoctrines. 615 0$aReformed Church$xDoctrines$xHistory 676 $a305.42 700 $aSchurman$b Anna Maria van$f1607-1678.$0889050 701 $aIrwin$b Joyce L$0949716 701 2$aVoet$b Gijsbert$f1589-1676.$0869000 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450926303321 996 $aWhether a Christian woman should be educated and other writings from her intellectual circle$92146621 997 $aUNINA
