Abstract

This research aims to support the inclusion of the philosopher Sarah Chapone in the canon of the history of philosophy. This is justified because, as analyzed, Chapone produces a text in which, for the first time, women are claimed the status of citizens who participate in civil society. Furthermore, I interpret that a central part of her argument—through the influence of Astell and Hobbes—stems from the analysis that women live in a State of Nature whose persistence is guaranteed by the Civil State.
