Synopsis

First written in 1790, Mary Wollstonecrafts book remains one of the very first works of feminist thought. Groundbreaking in its demands for womens education although subsequently criticized by some for its ambiguity towards the notion of womens equality, A Vindication remains one of the most important texts arguing for womens rights. Renowned feminist writer Sheila Rowbotham puts Wollstonecrafts life and work in a new light.

À propos des auteurs

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) first achieved fame for her A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), in which she extended the radical idea of the "rights of man" to women and laid the groundwork for modern feminism.

Sheila Rowbotham, who helped start the women's liberation movement in Britain, is known internationally as an historian of feminism and radical social movements. She is the author of the ground-breaking books Women, Resistance and Revolution; Woman's Consciousness, Man's World; and Hidden from History.
