AB - This article’s aim is to interpret Mary Astell’s major works within the context of the Anglican “reformation of manners” movement and to clarify the significance of her “early feminist” tactics. After presenting the historiography of the Astell studies in the first section, the second section briefly reviews the rationale for female reform in the Anglican “Restoration Church” and examines how the subject of women’s knowledge and education came to be prominent. Section 3 examines her strategy for building a feminist argument from the Anglican reform of female manners in Serious Proposal (1694) and Second Proposal (1697), particularly her tactical use of the subject of women’s knowledge. The fourth section discusses Astell’s feminist politics of knowledge for women in The Christian Religion (1705), focusing on the conflict between her feminism and the post-revolutionary toleration works of the 1690s, particularly John Locke’s The Reasonableness of Christianity (1695). In the final section, the significance of understanding Astell and early feminism is revisited.
