Book Synopsis Women, Imagination and the Search for Truth in Early Modern France by : Rebecca May Wilkin
Book excerpt: Grounded in medical, juridical, and philosophical texts of 16th- and 17th-century France, this study tells the story of how the idea of woman contributed to the emergence of modern science. It challenges scholars to revise deeply held notions regarding the place of women in the early modern search for truth.
