Women In 17th Century French Courtly Culture: Advantages And Limitations

Abstract: 10 pages in length. Women's treatment throughout the ages has been a mixture between intolerance and oppression. Since the beginning of time, women have been cast in the role of second fiddle to their male counterparts, who assumed the primary position with regard to social, political and economic status. Writers of seventeenth century French court culture creatively and pragmatically captured the extent to which women were both limited and advantaged within the scope of monarchy rule. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
