Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ubiquitous nature of female genius, arguing against its traditional suppression and celebrating its historical significance. This rich and wide-ranging compendium brings together an array of female authors from the Renaissance and Enlightenment to the Victorian era, with an emphasis on the way in which prevailing social attitudes have both stifled and encouraged them. The author amasses examples to illustrate how women's contributions have been ignored, overlooked, and misattributed to men, skillfully combining biography, literary criticism, and historical analysis to expose the many ways in which the contributions of women have been marginalized. The cumulative effect of this marginalization is evident in the way female writers have been omitted from literary canons and denied professional opportunities, as well as the undervaluing of their work in comparison to their male peers. Ultimately, this book makes a strong case for the recognition and preservation of women's intellectual achievements, challenging readers to reconsider the historical narrative of genius and to reclaim the rightful place of women within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527656062_0
