Marcet Society

An intellectual society for women

Marcet Society is a reading club and self-improvement society for women. Named after writer, educator and salonnière Jane Marcet, the club is inspired by her belief that women should attain a scientific and economic education—among other things. As such, Marcet Society hosts book clubs, discussions, and other events.

When you plead in favor of ignorance, there is a strong presumption that you are in the wrong.
—Jane Marcet
