In this paper, I analyse the works of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, an Italian mathematician of the eighteenth century. I specifically focus on the themes of proto-feminism, equality, and educational rights as persistent threads of her philosophical and scientific production. I emphasize her continuous efforts to highlight the place of women in the history of philosophy, presenting three chief texts in which these efforts are expressed. In her first work, the Academic oration, in which it is demonstrated that the studies of the liberal arts by the female sex are by no means inappropriate, I show how she articulates a rhetoric defence of women's educational rights. In her second work, the Philosophical propositions, I highlight how she combines Cartesian metaphysics and philosophy of mind to justify women's belonging to the history of philosophy. In analysing her final masterpiece, the Analytical institutions, I interpret the dedication to the Austrian empress Maria Theresa as a proto-feminist text, vindicating the leading role of women in history and society.

在本文中，我分析了十八世纪意大利数学家玛丽亚·盖塔娜·阿涅西 (Maria Gaetana Agnesi) 的著作。我特别关注原始女权主义、平等和教育权利等主题，将其作为她哲学和科学作品的持久线索。我强调她不断努力强调女性在哲学史上的地位，并提出了表达这些努力的三篇主要文本。在她的第一部作品《学术演讲》中，我证明了女性对文科的研究绝不是不合适的，我展示了她如何阐明对女性教育权利的言辞辩护。在她的第二部作品《哲学命题》中，我强调了她如何将笛卡尔形而上学和心灵哲学结合起来，以证明女性对哲学史的归属。在分析她的最后一部杰作《分析机构》时，我将献给奥地利女皇玛丽亚·特蕾莎的献词解释为原始女权主义文本，证明了女性在历史和社会中的主导作用。
