Summary

This study traces the origins of French feminism to Neoclassical theatre and the court of Louis XIV. The author focuses on figures such as the classical tragic heroine Iphigenie, among a wide range of themes and motifs that found reincarnation in the theatre, literature, politics, and art of Revolutionary through Naoleonic times. Worley reveals how the denial of voice and citizenship to women writers reflected a wider supresesion of female human rights and the denial of a proper hearing to real-life tragic victims.
