Emphasizing the fact that women's philosophical writing is often to be found in non-traditional genres, Dr Bergès uses a variety of texts from Olympe de Gouges theatre, political tracts as well as a philosophical discourse to show how she develops this argument and applied it to topics such as women's condition and slavery.
