A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (Modern Library Classics)

by Mary Wollstonecraft

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (Modern Library Classics) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

First published in 1792, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" was received with a mixture of vociferous outrage (Wollstonecraft's detractors called her "a hyena in petticoats") and ardent enthusiasm. In what is the first major work of feminism, Mary Wollstonecraft dares to apply the egalitarian principles of her day to women. The result is an argument for sexual emancipation — in short, a women's declaration of independence.<P>In a lively and well-reasoned introduction, columnist Katha Pollitt shows how "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" speaks as much to women of the twenty-first century as it did to Wollstonecraft's contemporaries.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references.
