comment
The Learned Ladies (Les Femmes Savantes, which is closer to "the wise women"), is a 1690 Molière comedy which satirizes female learning and pretense.Chrysale's household has been thrown into chaos. His wife, Philominte, daughter Armande and sister Belise have compeltyl fallen under the spell of the pretentious poet Trissotin, and become enraptured by learning and philosophy. Even worse, his younger daughter, Henriette, the only one immune to the philosophy frenzy wants nothing more than to marry her fiance Clitandre, but Philominte prefers she marry Trissotin, who of course, is only after their money. Chrysale must learn to assert himself and take control of his household before the marriage occurs!Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })

Book Dumb: Arguably Henriette and Clitandre, who care nothing for books and learning. However, both are quite clever, and are not taken in by Trissotin.

Not So Above It All: Armande. Although she can argue quite passionately against marriage and sex, she still seems to have feelings for Clitandre, or at very least, wants his affections.

Dumb Is Good: The women's desire to be "learned" is mocked, while those uninterested in books and philosophy win in the end.
