| Mary Astellâ s A Serious Proposal to the Ladies is one of the most important and neglected works advocating the establishment of womenâ s academies. Its reception was so controversial that Astell responded with a lengthy sequel, also in this volume. The cause of great notoriety, Astellâ s Proposal was imitated by Defoe in his â An Academy for Women,â parodied in the Tatler, satirized on the stage, plagiarized by Bishop Berkeley, and later mocked by Gilbert and Sullivan in Princess Ida. |
