"A Woman's Philosophy of Woman; or, Woman Affranchised" by Madame d'Héricourt is a feminist philosophical discourse written in the mid-19th century. The work serves as a robust refutation of contemporary male philosophers who portray women as inferior beings subordinate to men. Through her arguments, Madame d'Héricourt champions women's rights to equal education, social roles, and moral agency, positioning her work as an important contribution to the women's emancipation movement. At the start of the text, the author outlines her intent to argue for the equal rights of women as a necessary step toward their emancipation, explicitly challenging the male-dominated perspectives of philosophers such as Michelet and Proudhon. Madame d'Héricourt directly critiques their depictions of women as weak and incapable, asserting that their views are rooted in outdated and erroneous notions of gender. She argues not only that women are equal to men in intellect and moral law but that their subjugation leads to societal decay. The opening establishes her tone as both assertive and scholarly, setting the stage for a thorough examination of gender rights through philosophical and scientific reasoning.
