"The First Essay on the Political Rights of Women" by Condorcet is a significant treatise advocating for women's enfranchisement, written during the late 18th century. This book is a political essay that seeks to address the inequalities faced by women in relation to citizenship and legal rights. It emerges from the broader discourse of the Enlightenment, reflecting the emerging ideals of equality and justice during that time. In this essay, Condorcet argues against the exclusion of women from political rights, asserting that both men and women possess equal natural rights derived from their shared humanity. He critiques the societal norms that uphold gender inequality and posits that women's exclusion from citizenship is both unjust and fundamentally illogical. Condorcet highlights various historical examples to demonstrate that women can govern and contribute to society as competently as men. He contends that the law not only denies rights to women but also perpetuates their subordination, suggesting that true progress in society cannot occur while such inequalities exist. The essay ultimately calls for recognition and granting of political rights to women, framing it as a crucial step towards societal improvement and justice.
