"This book, the first of two volumes, is the first study of its kind devoted to an
analysis of the debate concerning government by women in seventeenth-century France.
Drawing on a wide range of political and feminist texts, it sets out to demonstrate
that the dominant discourse which upholds patriarchy at the time is frequently in
conflict with alternative discourses which frame gynaecocracy as a feasible, and laudable
reality, and which reconfigure (wittingly or unwittingly) the normative paradigm of
male authority. Central to the argument is an analysis of how the discourse which
constructs government as a male prerogative quite simply implodes when juxtaposed
with the traditional political discourse of virtue ethics. The study draws on the
existing work concerning queenship but innovates in its focus on the literary, feminist,
and philosophical representations of female governance in France"
