500 Women, Politics and the Public Sphere is a socio-
historical analysis of the relationship between women,
politics and the public sphere. It looks at the fault-
lines established in the eighteenth century for later
developments in social and political discourse and
considers the implications for the political
representation of women in the West and globally,
highlighting how women public intellectuals now reflect
much more social and cultural diversity. Covering the
legacy of eighteenth-century intellectual groupings which
were dominated by women such as members of the
'bluestocking circles' and other more radical intellectual
and philosophical thinkers, the book focuses on women such
as Catherine Macaulay and Mary Wollstonecraft. These
individuals and groups which emerged in the eighteenth
century established 'intellectual spaces' for the
emergence of women public intellectuals in subsequent
centuries. It also examines women public intellectuals in
the US including Samantha Power, Anne-Marie Slaughter,
Elizabeth Warren, Condoleezza Rice, Susan Rice, Hillary
Clinton and Sheryl Sandberg.
