While Africa is rich in many natural resources and mineral deposits, one commodity is largely scarce on the continent: salt. The largest salt-producing site was at [BLANK-1] in the western portion of the Sahara Desert. Control over the site was crucial for several African empires and kingdoms.

A French scientist and philosophe named [BLANK-1] advocated for skepticism and promoted the deductive method. He discovered that geometric spatial figures could be expressed as algebraic equations and vice-versa, leading to the discovery of analytical geometry. He argued that sensory observations could be misleading and that you should doubt everything that could reasonably be doubted (an idea that produced his very famous quote “I think, therefore I am”). He served as the tutor for the Enlightened monarch, Queen Christina of Sweden, late in life.

[BLANK-1] was an Englishwoman who sought to advance the case for women’s intellectual capacities during the Enlightenment. She argued directly against Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s position that men’s roles as the active partner in sexual relationships meant that they were naturally suited for the active world of politics and public life more than women. This woman instead argued that women were capable of being equal to men (though she conceded limitations based on their lack of access to education). She further proposed that even if Rousseau was right about women, that women still should be given the right to gain an education and create their best selves. She passed many of her ideas and talents on to her daughter, who would gain equal fame to her celebrated mother when she wrote the famous Romanticist horror novel: Frankenstein.
