Epistles on Women and Other Works (19th Century) (Paperback)

Written by Lucy Aiken in 1810, this was the first text in English to re-write the history of western culture, from the Creation of Genesis through the eighteenth century, from a feminist perspective, explicitly defining the consequences of a patriarchal social system. This edition also includes a wide selection of poetry, historical writing, fiction, memoir, and literary criticism by Aikin, as well as letters, contemporary reviews, and other feminist historiographies.
