In England in the 1700s, a woman who was an intellectual, spoke out, or wrote professionally was considered unnatural. After all, as the wisdom of the era dictated, a clever woman—if there were such a thing—would never make a good wife.

In this intimate and revelatory history, Susannah Gibson delves into the lives of these pioneering women.
