Paper Summary:
This essay examines the roles of women as writers, during The Restoration, from the points of view of the women themselves, the men who supported them, and the men who opposed. Specifically, the writers in question are Anne Finch and Jonathon Swift.
From the Paper:
"Also in the same poem, Swift contends that women are incapable of forming and maintaining an argument and therefore should not be taken too seriously. He writes, "Her Arguments directly tend /Against the Side she would defend."(51-52)"
