Scrivendo subito dopo le rivoluzioni francese e americana, Mary Wollstonecraft stabilì fermamente la richiesta di emancipazione delle donne nel contesto della sempre più ampia spinta per i diritti umani e la libertà individuale che seguì sulla scia di queste due grandi sconvolgimenti. In tal modo aprì la vena più ricca e produttiva del pensiero femminista; e il suo successo può essere giudicato dal fatto che la sua polemica un tempo radicale, attraverso gli sforzi degli innumerevoli scrittori e attivisti che influenzò, è diventata la saggezza accettata dell'era moderna. La presente edizione contiene un sostanzioso saggio di un importante studioso per celebrare il bicentenario della pubblicazione nel 1792.

In 1797 she married William Godwin, and had a daughter, the future Mary Shelley. Wollstonecraft died of septicaemia shortly after the birth.
Writing just after the French and American revolutions, Mary Wollstonecraft firmly established the demand for women’s emancipation in the context of the ever-widening urge for human rights and individual freedom that followed in the wake of these two great upheavals. She thereby opened the richest, most productive vein in feminist thought; and her success can be judged by the fact that her once radical polemic, through the efforts of the innumerable writers and activists she influenced, has become the acce
