Anne Conway (philosopher)

Anne Conway was an English philosopher of the Enlightenment, whose work was in the tradition of the Cambridge Platonists. Conway's thought is a deeply original form of rationalist philosophy, with hallmarks of gynocentric concerns and patterns that lead some to think of it as unique among seventeenth-century systems.Conways work was an influence on Gottfried Leibniz, and Hugh Trevor-Roper called her "England's greatest female philosopher."
