Gender and Identity in Early Modern Europe: The Debate through Gabrielle Suchon's Treatise

This exploration delves into Gabrielle Suchon's 1693 Treatise on Ethics and Politics, situated within the broader context of gender and identity debates in Early Modern Europe. We will examine the roles of classical philosophers like Aristotle, discuss themes such as the responsibility for women's plight, and analyze both logical and theological feminism. As you engage with the text, consider historically significant passages, the positions on gender presented, and how they compare to contemporary issues. This course invites critical questions that bridge historical and modern discussions on women and gender.
