Book Synopsis
First published in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was an instant success, turning its thirty-three-year-old author into a minor celebrity. A pioneering work of early feminism that extends to women the Enlightenment principle of the rights of man, its argument remains as relevant today as it was for Woll-stonecraft''s contemporaries. Mary Wollstonecraft was not the first writer to call for women to receive a real, challenging education, writes Katha Pollitt in the new Introduction.
