![]() ![]() ![]() Mary and The Wrongs of Woman are both amazingly well written short stories. I searched for more of her writings and lo and behold, I discovered this small little treasure in a used bookstore. You can see where Mary Shelley got her talent.Īfter reading her most popular work The Vindication of the Rights of Woman, I was so enamoured with her words and ideals that I found myself on the search for more of her writings. She makes readers really think about the world around them. Wollstonecraft really knows how to captivate her readers and get her message across. Her revolutionary writing may have been frowned upon most in the 18th century, but her thoughts and ideas helped establish feminist movement to what it is today. Mary Wollstonecraft was definitely one of the many women of the 18th century who was outside of her own time. This story of a woman imprisoned in an asylum by her abusive husband offers a powerful indictment of women’s lowly status in eighteenth-century England. In this classic feminist text, the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman expresses her egalitarian social philosophy in the form of fiction. Landmark novel by an early pioneer of women’s rights ![]()
