[A]n important contribution to scholarship on the relationship of women writers to the Scottish Enlightenment. -- E. J. Clery, University of Southampton, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature (35.1)

A Feminine Enlightenment combines sensitive close reading of little-known texts with a perceptive overview of both eighteenth-century and current critical debates about the relationship between gender, history and economic progress. This book builds upon a large body of feminist scholarship but takes this work in exciting new directions, leading it into an important new phase of development. -- Dr. Elizabeth Eger, King's College London
