Instead of treating the Enlightenment in the usual manner, as a challenge to orthodox ideas and social conventions, Lieselotte Steinbrügge interprets it as a deviation from a position staked out in the seventeenth century, namely, \"the mind has no sex.\" In breaking with that view, the \u003cem\u003ephilosophes\u003c\/em\u003e shifted the debate to categories like morality and sensitivity and took up economic issues as well. They inadvertently backed women into the corner of domesticity, where middle-class women remained for some time to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47781127979159,"sku":"9780195094930","price":3188.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195094930.webp?v=1778050806","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-moral-sex-womans-nature-in-the-french-enlightenment-9780195094930","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
