| Summary: | This Introduction provides an overview of the work of Eileen O'Neill, focusing on her writings on feminist historiography of philosophy, the equality of the sexes and causation. Topics includethe idea of a feminist history of early modern though, O'Neill's response to Michèle Le Dœuff's challenge that women philosophers must inevitably occupy the subordinate "Heloise position," O'Neill's treatment of the "gendered mind" in Descartes, Poullain de le Barre and Madame de Lambert and, as a case study in feminist historiography, her writings on Margaret Cavendish on natural change. |
