Luisa Posada Kubissa analyzes how the first demands for equality between the sexes challenged the normative femininity imposed by Rousseau’s thought. The work offers an essential re-reading for understanding the roots of the struggle for equality and its relevance to contemporary intellectual debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book proposes a journey that begins in the Enlightenment world, where the idea of equality between the sexes emerges as a challenge to the tenets of normative femininity. The author examines Enlightenment feminism as a movement of thought that official history has kept in the shadows, and which it is necessary to revive to enrich our current knowledge. Through a rigorous analysis, the tensions between egalitarian proposals and the dominant discourse of modernity are explored, especially that of Rousseau, who consolidated a model of the subordinate woman. The work not only reviews key texts and authors but also vindicates the validity of their arguments in the context of today's gender debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOrigins of feminism in the Enlightenment and its confrontation with Rousseau's thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe construction of normative femininity in modernity and its critiques.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe vindication of equality between the sexes as part of the baggage of Enlightenment thought.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe recovery of feminist authors and texts relegated by the history of ideas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe validity of Enlightenment arguments in contemporary feminism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals in philosophy, history, gender studies, and social sciences, as well as readers interested in feminist thought and the critical revision of the Enlightenment.
