Before “feminism” had a name, women were already fighting for a voice. In 17th-century England, writers like Aphra Behn, Anne Wharton, and Margaret Cavendish challenged a male literary establishment that judged their morality more than their work. A new book uncovers their battles—and brilliance. quillette.com/2026/03/17/the…
