She examines the work of thinkers such as Mary Astell, Elisabeth of Bohemia, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Conway and Damaris Masham, who were active participants in the intellectual life of their time and were also the respected colleagues of philosophers such as Descartes, Leibniz and Locke. She also illuminates the continuities between early modern women's thought and the anti-dualism of more recent feminist thinkers. The result is a more gender-balanced account of early modern thought than has hitherto been available. Broad's clear and accessible exploration of this still-unfamiliar area will have a strong appeal to both students and scholars in the history of philosophy, women's studies and the history of ideas. 606 $aWomen philosophers 606 $aPhilosophy, Modern$y17th century 615 0$aWomen philosophers. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Modern 676 $a190/.82/09032 700 $aBroad$b Jacqueline$01155111 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967951003321 996 $aWomen philosophers of the seventeenth century$94427991 997 $aUNINA
