"Mary Astell was born during the 17th century and died in the 18th century. It was during the early part of the 1700s when her most influential books and political and religious treatises were published. Astell wrote long before Elizabeth Cady Stanton, even long before Mary Wollstonecraft penned her influential tracts on women?s rights, even before these women were born.
