"How could women in postrevolutionary France act politically when they lacked political rights, and how could they support an exclusively masculine republicanism? This is a study of four female authors who wrote women into politics and into republicanism by articulating a model of republican womanhood between the two poles of feminist equality and republican motherhood." "These four writers were George Sand, Marie d'Agoult, Hortense Allart, and Delphine Gay de Girardin."--BOOK JACKET.
