Once married, they became legally subservient to their husbands. The duchesse de Montpensier-a first cousin of Louis XIV-was one of very few exceptions, thanks to the vast wealth she inherited from her mother, who died shortly after Montpensier was born. She was also one of the few politically powerful women in France at the time to have been an accomplished writer. In the daring letters presented in this bilingual edition, Montpensier condemns the alliance system of marriage, proposing instead to found a republic that she would govern, "a corner of the world in which . . . women are their own mistresses," and where marriage and even courtship would be outlawed. Her pastoral utopia would provide medical care and vocational training for the poor, and all the homes would have libraries and studies, so that each woman would have a "room of her own" in which to write books. Joan DeJean's lively introduction and accessible translation of Montpensier's letters-four previously unpublished-allow us unprecedented access to the courageous voice of this extraordinary woman. 410 0$aOther voice in early modern Europe. 606 $aPrincesses$zFrance$vCorrespondence 606 $aLadies-in-waiting$zFrance$vCorrespondence 606 $aMarriage 606 $aSex role 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yLouis XIV, 1643-1715 607 $aFrance$xCourt and courtiers$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aPrincesses 615 0$aLadies-in-waiting 615 0$aMarriage. 615 0$aSex role. 676 $a944/.033/0922 700 $aMontpensier$b Anne-Marie-Louise d'Orleans$cduchesse de,$f1627-1693.$0886750 701 $aMotteville$b Francoise de$fd. 1689.$01809362 701 $aDeJean$b Joan E$0615743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966703703321 996 $aAgainst marriage$94360111 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03798oam 2200661I 450 001 9910953927903321 005 20251116205242.0 010 $a1-317-97351-8 010 $a0-7007-1648-3 010 $a1-315-87071-1 010 $a1-317-97352-6 024 7 $a10.4324/9781315870717 035 $a(CKB)2550000001313488 035 $a(EBL)1702238 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001225288 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12528436 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001225288 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11264550 035 $a(PQKB)11683140 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1702238 035 $a(OCoLC)882248161 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB139165 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001313488 100 $a20180331e20132002 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aRights, religion and reform $eenhancing human dignity through spiritual and moral transformation /$fChandra Muzaffar 210 1$aLondon ;$aNew York :$cRoutledge,$d2013. 215 $a1 online resource (384 p.) 300 $a"First published 2002 by RoutledgeCurzon"--T.p. verso. 311 08$a0-7007-1597-5 311 08$a1-306-85490-3 327 $aCover; Half Title; Dedication; Title Page; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Acknowledgements; Preface; From Human Rights to Human Dignity; 1 An integrated approach to human rights; 2 Development and democracy in Asia; 3 Transforming rights: five challenges for the Asia-Pacific; 4 Judging Asia: assessing human rights conditionality; 5 UN High Commissioner for human rights; 6 Rethinking human rights: a philosophical debate; The Essence of Religion; 7 A spiritual vision of the human being; 8 A worldview for environmental salvation; 9 The Soviet Union and the denial of God 327 $a10 Religious conflict in Asia11 Religiosity on the rampage; spirituality in slumber; 12 Islam: justice and politics; 13 Judiciary and justice; 14 Islamic movements and social change; 15 Islamisation of state and society; 16 Reflections on the Shariah; 17 Hudud: central to Islam?; 18 Iqbal and the challenge of reform; The Challenge of Reform; 19 The welfare state: the quest for an alternative; 20 The economic crisis; 21 Establishing a fully moral and ethical society; 22 Civil society in Malaysia; 23 Accommodation and acceptance of non-Muslim communities 327 $a24 Islam and Confucianism: ethnic relations in Malaysia25 Conclusion: the remembrance of God; Index 330 $aThis book discusses issues concerning human rights and religion. Is a more integrated approach to human rights desirable - an approach that transcends the individual-centred orientation of civil and political liberties of the dominant centres of power in the West? How can religious thought contribute to an integrated notion of human rights and human dignity? What sort of transformation should religion itself undergo in order to enable it to come to grips with contemporary challenges? Related to this is a larger question: How can universal spiritual and moral values help to shape politics, the 606 $aIslam and humanism 606 $aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aCivil rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aHuman rights$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aIslam and humanism. 615 0$aHuman rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aCivil rights$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aHuman rights$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a297.2/72 676 $a297.272 676 $a297.272 700 $aChandra Muzaffar$f1947,$01882127 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953927903321 996 $aRights, religion and reform$94497185 997 $aUNINA
