In a world that gave women two options - marriage or the convent - 17th-century philosopher Gabrielle Suchon quietly said, “Neither, thanks.” In this episode, we explore Suchon’s groundbreaking argument for a third way: a life of study, independence, and dignity, freely chosen by women on their own terms. Long before modern feminism had a name, Suchon insisted that women are capable of reason, entitled to freedom, and deserve authority over their own lives.
But this isn’t just history, it’s invitation. We reflect on how Suchon’s ideas still echo today, especially in the subtle, intuitive feminist act of opting out: of expectations, of roles, of lives chosen by others. This episode is for anyone who’s ever taken the road less commented on - and wondered if that, too, could be called resistance.
