Mary Astell: Reason Gender Faith includes essays from a variety of disciplinary perspectives to consider the full range of Astell's political theological philosophical and poetic writings. The volume's contributors show Astell to have had few parallels among her contemporaries bestowing upon her the attention that she deserves-not merely as a proto-feminist but as a major figure of the early modern period.
