  During the oppressive reign of Louis XIV, Gabrielle Suchon (1623-1703) was the most forceful female voice in France, advocating women's freedom and self-determination. This volume collects Suchon's writing from two works - Treatise on Ethics and Politics (1693) and On the Celibate Life Freely Chosen; or, Life without Commitments (1700).
