AMERICAN WOMEN’S FIGHT FOR RIGHTS DURING ENLIGHTENMENT
AMERICAN WOMEN’S FIGHT FOR RIGHTS DURING ENLIGHTENMENT

Summary/Abstract: The development of science in the 17th century created the premises for the construction of a system increasingly based on reason, innovation, but also the need for a change felt throughout human society. All this would give birth to the Enlightenment of the 18th century. Even though the new clones overseas were in the early stages of development, there was also a strong movement of renewal and remaking in America. The particularity of this continent is given by the need to free itself from the tutelage of England. The culminating moment of the Enlightenment in America was the Revolution that gave birth to the USA. Unlike England, the American Enlightenment tried to be much more practical and materialize in increased freedoms of the citizen. Women defending their right to education and freedom could not be missing from such a movement.
