During her lifetime, the gifted writer Marie le Jars de Gournay (1565-1645) was celebrated as one of the "seventy most famous women of all time" in Jean de la Forge's "Circle of Learned Women" (1663). The adopted daughter of Montaigne, as well as his editor, Gournay was a major literary force and a pioneering feminist voice during a tumultuous period in France. This volume presents translations of four of Gournay's works that address feminist issues. Two of these appear here in English for the first time "The Promenade of Monsieur de Montaigne" and "The Apology for the Woman Writing." One of the first modern psychological novels, the best-selling "Promenade" was also the first to explore female sexual feeling. With the autobiographical "Apology, " Gournay defended every aspect of her life, from her moral conduct to her household management. The book also includes Gournay's last revisions (1641) of her two best-known feminist treatises, "The Equality of Men and Women" and "The Ladies' Complaint." The editors provide a general overview of Gournay's career, as well as individual introductions and extensive annotations for each work. 16th century,17th century,england,europe,european,france,gender studies,history,humanities,literary criticism Women's Studies, University of Chicago Press
