Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Rachel Speght (born 1597, death date unknown) was a poet and polemicist. She was the first Englishwoman to identify herself, by name, as a polemicist and critic of gender ideology. Speght, a feminist and a Calvinist, is perhaps best known for her tract, A Mouzell for Melastomus (London, 1617). It is a prose refutation of Joseph Swetnam''s misogynistic tract, The Arraignment of Lewd, Idle, Froward, and Unconstant Women, and a significant contribution to the Protestant discourse of biblical exegesis, defending women''s nature and the worth of womankind. Speght also published a volume of poetry, Mortalities Memorandum with a Dreame Prefixed (London, 1621), a Christian reflection on death and a defense of the education of women. Speght was born the daughter of a Calvinist minister in London, England in 1597. Her writings reveal that she was unusually well educated in rhetoric, logic, classical and Christian texts, and Latin, and that she had a thorough knowledge of Christian scripture.
