Riassunto

For many years the victim of smear campaigns by notable male writers, and dismissed as being merely 'the mother of Mary Shelley', Mary Wollstonecraft has claimed her rightful title as one of the founders of feminist thought, a movement anchored in her Vindications. Outraged by Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, its use of gendered language and defence of monarchy and hereditary privilege, A Vindication of the Rights of Men turned the tables on philosophy. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman swiftly followed, taking the conversation further, and arguing the case for women's education. Together, these two seminal works went on to change the course of history, and her arguments continue to hold water today. This edition contains explanatory notes and an introduction by Bee Rowlatt, Chair of the Wollstonecraft Society.

Informazioni sull'autore

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–97) was an immensely important writer, often considered a founder of feminist thought. Although she wrote various novels, treatises and travel books, Wollstonecraft is best remembered today for her groundbreaking A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) and, to a lesser extent, A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), and as the mother of the writer Mary Shelley.
