This is fascinating. I had never before heard of Anne Conway but am glad that I do now. I'm also glad that at least some women, albeit usually rich, well-connected, and with sympathetic/indulgent husbands, were allowed to think, write, and communicate about matters outside the household. Your series helps fill a much needed gap in the history of philosophy.
