At the heart of the quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns, Madame de Pringy is a moralist and analyzes several types of women-all guilty, according to her, of self-love. This treatise, of undeniable sociological value, restores a more balanced view of the social ferment of the late seventeenth century.
