History remembers the giants of Early Modern philosophy - Descartes, Locke, Leibniz. But behind the scenes, a revolution of the mind was brewing. In salons, letters, and sometimes disguised publications, women were wrestling with the same questions about reality, science, and society as their more famous male counterparts.

Uncover the hidden world of women like Margaret Cavendish, a Duchess whose bold theories and flamboyant persona defied expectations, or Anne Conway, wrestling with the profound connection between mind and universe. Meet Émilie du Châtelet, who defied tradition with her sharp mind and groundbreaking translation of Isaac Newton.
