Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

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.

Bee Rowlatt is the author of the award-winning travelogue In Search of Mary, co-author of the bestselling Talking About Jane Austen in Baghdad and contributor to Virago's Fifty Shades of Feminism. Bee led the campaign for the Mary Wollstonecraft memorial – the most trolled artwork of our times – and came out fighting across national and international media. She programmes events at the British Library, and has chaired writers all over the world, been a BBC producer, taught English to the Vice-President of Colombia and worked in a coleslaw factory. Bee is a regular on TV and radio, and has written for the BBC, Telegraph, Times, Grazia, Die Welt, Guardian and Daily Mail. She now lives in London, but hails from Yorkshire, and used to be a showgirl. One-Woman Crime Wave is her first foray into fiction.
