About this book
Epistles On Women, Exemplifying Their Character And Condition In Various Ages And Nations is an 1810 verse work by Lucy Aikin (1781-1864), the English Unitarian historian, poet, and biographer who came from the literary Aikin and Barbauld family circle of late Georgian Dissent. Aikin's other works include the popular Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth, Memoirs of the Court of James the First, and Memoirs of the Court of Charles the First, and her biography of her aunt Anna Letitia Barbauld. The Epistles on Women is a four-part verse essay surveying the historical condition of women from biblical and classical antiquity through the modern period, arguing for the moral and intellectual equality of the sexes and against the legal and educational disabilities women faced in early nineteenth-century Britain. It is a primary source for early English feminist thought.
