New Book on Feminist Early Modern Philosophy

The blog Feminist History of Philosophy has a short blurb of a new book, The Equality of the Sexes: Three feminist texts of the seventeenth century, edited by Desmond Clarke.

I am personally excited because I’ve always wanted to read something by Poulain de la Barre, who was quoted by de Beauvoir in her epigraph for The Second Sex:
