RARELY has so pure, so true, so brave-hearted a woman been known as was the subject of the present sketch. A woman, however, whose memory has been blackened and calumniated, whose name has been spoken in contempt, whose virtues have been too frequently overlooked or forgotten, and whose mistakes have been held up to the world's scorn as positive vices. Some who remember only her avowed Deism, her socialistic theories, her open disregard and contempt for the marriage cere'mony, her bold handling of subjects foreign to the accepted idea of womanly delicacy, her scornful ridicule of all those clinging, dependent graces which are held to endear her sex. to the heart of man, may dissent from my estimate of her worth; but for myself I 'cannot see my way out of giving her the high place she merits, when I remember her earnestness, her perseverance, her unconquerable courage, her faith in humanity, her noble charity and self-forgetfulncss, her fidelity in friendship, her generous, forgiving spirit, and her hearty detestation of everything false or trivial. Hers was a hard life from its beginning. Her father, an Englishman, by the name of Edward John Wollstonecraft, was obstinate, unthrifty, unreasonable, and domineering. Her Irish mother was weak, with no true idea of parental government, and slavishly fearful of her husband's bad temper. It was the domestic tyranny of her father which first disgusted Mary's girlish but thoughtful mind with the marriage laws--that gave to such a man absolute, autocratic control over his family--and which turned her attention at a very early age to those subjects the consideration of which made her the daring iconoclast she afterward became. The habits of the family were so migratory...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroines of Domestic Life The aphorisms of great men are not always to be taken unreservedly; since in them the world encon rages the license of assumption. Thus, when Dr. Johnson declared that character to be the best, which does little but repeated acts of benevolence, and styled heroic deeds the ban-mots of society, which occurred seldom, and were too highly thought of, it is obvious that his remarks, though mainly true, are not to be entirely accepted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successor to the highly acclaimed Encyclopedia of Unbelief (1985), edited by the late Gordon Stein, the New Encyclopedia of Unbelief is a comprehensive reference work on the history, beliefs, and thinking of America''s fastest growing minority: those who live without religion. All-new articles by the field''s foremost scholars describe and explain every aspect of atheism, agnosticism, secular humanism, secularism, and religious skepticism. Topics include morality without religion, unbelief in the historicity of Jesus, critiques of intelligent design theory, unbelief and sexual values, and summaries of the state of unbelief around the world.In addition to covering developments since the publication of the original edition, the New Encyclopedia of Unbelief includes a larger number of biographical entries and much-expanded coverage of the linkages between unbelief and social reform movements of the 19th and 20th centuries, including the labor movement, woman suffrage, anarchism, sex radicalism, and second-wave feminism.More than 130 respected scholars and activists worldwide served on the editorial board and over 100 authoritative contributors have written in excess of 500 entries. The distinguished advisors and contributors--philosophers, scientists, scholars, and Nobel Prize laureates--include Joe Barnhart, David Berman, Sir Hermann Bondi, Vern L. Bullough, Daniel Dennett, Taner Edis, the late Paul Edwards, Antony Flew, Annie Laurie Gaylor, Peter Hare, Van Harvey, R. Joseph Hoffmann, Susan Jacoby, Paul Kurtz, Gerd Lüdemann, Michael Martin, Kai Nielsen, Robert M. Price, Peter Singer, Victor Stenger, Ibn Warraq, George A. Wells, David Tribe, Sherwin Wine, and many others.

Download or read book Strange Gods written by Susan Jacoby and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a groundbreaking historical work that focuses on the long, tense convergence of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam with an uncompromising secular perspective, Susan Jacoby illuminates the social and economic forces that have shaped individual faith and the voluntary conversion impulse that has changed the course of Western history—for better and for worse. Covering the triumph of Christianity over paganism in late antiquity, the Spanish Inquisition, John Calvin’s dour theocracy, American plantations where African slaves had to accept their masters’ religion—along with individual converts including Augustine of Hippo, John Donne, Edith Stein, Muhammad Ali, George W. Bush and Mike Pence—Strange Gods makes a powerful case that nothing has been more important in struggle for reason than the right to believe in the God of one’s choice or to reject belief in God altogether.
