The work of Poulain de la Barre presents the effort on the issue of gender equality. His rationalist philosophy, anchored in cartesianism developed in his speeches, proposes overcoming prejudice, regarding the place of women in society, by demonstrating that this is a truth guided by the force of opinion and custom. With the use of reason and the scrutiny of nature, knowledge would overcome inequality established in the name of humanity's progress. This text seeks to discuss about his thesis and analyze how the female condition was approached by the French philosopher.
