First sentence: During a short three-year period at the end of the Querelle des femmes, as the "Woman Question" debate was known in French society in the seventeenth century, Francois Poullain wrote three treatises on women's nature and destiny that departed noticeably from the traditional discourse on women's fate in a patriachal society.
