Focusing on the concept of the 'deliberative heroine,' the book explores how early modern French women playwrights utilized their characters to challenge conventional perceptions of women. Through the lens of Enlightenment ideals, the author highlights the importance of rationality and the nuanced relationship between reason and emotion, demonstrating how these elements empower female characters and offer a critique of their historical roles.
