A Serious Proposal to the Ladies

A Serious Proposal to the Ladies
- Used Book in Good Condition
Mary Astellâ€™s A Serious Proposal to the Ladies is one of the most important and neglected works advocating the establishment of womenâ€™s academies. Its reception was so controversial that Astell responded with a lengthy sequel, also in this volume. The cause of great notoriety, Astellâ€™s Proposal was imitated by Defoe in his â€œAn Academy for Women,â€ parodied in the Tatler, satirized on the stage, plagiarized by Bishop Berkeley, and later mocked by Gilbert and Sullivan in Princess Ida.
