A VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMAN - MARY WOL...

'She is alive and active - we hear her voice and trace her influence even now' Virginia Woolf
Writing in an age when the call for the rights of man had brought revolution to America and
France  Mary Wollstonecraft produced her own declaration of female independence in 1792.
Passionate and forthright  A Vindication of the Rights of Woman attacked the prevailing view of
docile  decorative femininity  and instead laid out the principles of emancipation: an equal
education for girls and boys  an end to prejudice  and for women to become defined by their
profession  not their partner. Mary Wollstonecraft's work was received with a mixture of
admiration and outrage - one critic called her 'a hyena in petticoats' - yet it established her
as the mother of modern feminism.
