Sophia, a Person of Quality

(

)

... that a 17th century man's book was adapted to argue in favor of women's superiority? Source: Broad, Jacqueline (2021). "From Nobility and Excellence to Generosity and Rights: Sophia's Defenses of Women (1739–40)". Hypatia. 37 (1). doi:10.1017/hyp.2021.71. "Like O'Brien, Leduc also draws attention to the original aspects of Sophia's texts. According to Leduc, in her first work Sophia borrows from fifty-six paragraphs of the 1677 translation of Poulain's text, Woman As Good As the Man; and in the second work, she takes from fifty-four paragraphs (Leduc Reference Leduc2012, 100–1; 2015, 16). This amounts to Sophia borrowing from almost all of Poulain's text at some point, without explicit acknowledgment."

Clearly long enough and nominated in time, this is a high-quality article with extensive sourcing. The only significant text matched by Earwig is a long publication title in a footnote; the body text is original. QPQ done. The hook is interesting, succinct, and well-sourced.
- "Lockean political rhetoric, with its focus on as an unjustified and arbitrary tyranny," - preposition excess?
- "a 17th century man's book": this reads a little strangely to me. "a 17th century male author's work" would be more natural.

With these minor changes, this will be ready for take-off. MartinPoulter (talk) 14:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Okay dokie, good points. Fixed!

Thanks for fixing the grammar problem, and I approve ALT1. Excellent work! MartinPoulter (talk) 19:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
