Worried about Wealth with Bluestocking Elizabeth Montagu
Philosophy and Literature - Female Empowerment - Bluestocking Society - Women's intellectual historyIn this episode of The Female Stoic Podcast we look at Female Stoics in Literature and uses Stoic principles to empower and cultivate a peaceful mindset.
Is success all about money? she asks. Without it I obviously cannot survive. But I don’t have the drive to be rich. Does this mean I can’t be successful as a 21st century woman if I’m just happy paying the bills and living my life?
Today I look at a quote from Elizabeth Montagu to answer this.
Elizabeth Montagu was the wealthiest and most influential founder of the Bluestocking Group - a small organization of privileged women who gathered together from about 1750 onwards to discuss literature and the arts. She gave female thinkers and creatives the recognition and financial security they struggled to find elsewhere in a society that then rebuffed female intellectuals.
Together, her and her friends advocated for female education at a time it was seen as unbecoming.
We know the Bluestockings were interested in the stoic philosophy, because one of these friends was Elizabeth Carter, who famously translated the (Handbook) of Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher of the 1 st and early 2 nd centuries
This epic endeavour by Carter made Stoic philosophy more accessible to the Bluestockings and influenced their thinking on virtue, reason, and self-control.
