How was the enlightenment influential to the new world?

Applying the scientific method to their physical world, Enlightenment thinkers, or philosophes, reexamined all aspects of life—from government and justice to religion and women's rights. They created a movement that influenced the entire Western world.

The Enlightenment was a great period of increasing literacy among society as more works, newspapers and magazines were published.

Many female thinkers began to express their ideas about improving the condition of women. This gave them more rights and improved their treatment throughout the era.
