Analyzing the antiquated laws and cultural perspectives, the authors explore the nuances that shaped women’s lives. It points out the paradoxes of the Enlightenment era, which, while advocating for sensible reasoning and progress, simultaneously witnessed scientific justifications for female subjugation.

This change might even be ongoing, manifesting itself in various issues nowadays, such as getting married and having children at a higher age or not at all.
