Opis

One of the most radical feminist theorists in Europe before the 19th century, Francois Poullain de la Barre (1647-1723) was a man way ahead of his time. Applying Cartesian principles to the Woman Question, Poullain demonstrated by rational deduction that the supposedly self-evident inequality of the sexes was nothing more than unfounded prejudice.
