Women and the Enlightenment?
The question on one of my midterms (women and gender in modern Europe) read:
Did women have an Enlightenment? Why/why not?

One of my friends says yes, because it was a movement with a profound effect on society, which women are a part of.

One of my friends says no, because it was mainly an intellectual movement, which women were not really allowed to participate in at the time.

I ultimately argued no, but I think it's a very interesting question. Either that, or a complete misuse of the term "Enlightenment."

I'd be interested to hear everyone's answers to this question.

I agree. Do you mean seperate Enlightenment, or part of the 17th/18th century Enlightenment?
