Summary

Gabrielle Suchon (16231703) was the most forceful female voice during the absolutistic reign of Louis XIV in France, advocating women's freedom of condition and conscience, access to knowledge, and assertion of authority in the public sphere. This volume collects Suchon's writings from her two worksTreatise on Ethics and Politics (1693) and On the Celibate Life Freely Chosen; or, Life without Commitments (1700)and demonstrates her originality as a philosophical and moral thinker and writer.
