Female Preeminence: An Ingenius Discourse (English Edition)

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa is best known for his three books of Occult Philosophy. Living in the 16th century, Agrippa was a true Renaissance man, and this text shows his full philosophical capabilities on display.

Pointing to the trope of the heroine and the divine feminine, Agrippa decries his "giddy age" and condemns the abuse of women in legal and social affairs, using multiple spiritual traditions to point to their actual philosophical equality.
