Description

Olympe de Gouges, though a well-known historical figure, has not been investigated as a philosopher until quite recently.

Yet, many of her writings have philosophical import, whether they are written in the genre of the philosophical treatise, drama or political pamphlets. In the three main sections, the author gives an overview of some of her arguments, showing their originality and their relevance to debates contemporary to her and to us.

In the introduction, the author addresses the question of genre and argue that Gouges should be read as a philosopher, as well as a playwright and political writer.

In the conclusion, the author draws out the relevance of her work for contemporary philosophers.
