Download or read book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman written by Mary Wollstonecraft and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-10-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the earliest works of feminist philosophy, ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman’ argues that women should receive a rational education. A response to the educational and political theorists of the 18th century at the time, Wollstonecraft’s essay invites readers today to peak behind the scenes at the early fight for rights for women. Whilst the term ‘feminist’ did not emerge until years after the publication – and death of Wollstonecraft - ‘A Vindication’ remains today an influential step in the advocacy for women’s education and equal social status. A must-read for fans of Helena Bonham Carter and Carey Mulligan in Netflix’s acclaimed ‘Suffragette’ film. The founding feminist philosopher, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was an English writer, philosopher, and advocate of women’s rights. Whilst her unconventional relationships attracted more attention that her writing at the time, Wollstonecraft is best known for ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Women’; a ground-breaking work arguing that women are not naturally inferior to men. Despite her posthumously published ‘Memoir’ overshadowing her writing career for almost a century, Wollstonecraft remains today an influential figure in the advocacy for women’s rights following the feminist movement at the turn of the 20th century. She died giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelly, the accomplished author of ‘Frankenstein’.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" was a book of philosophy written by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. She was one of the early proponents of a philosophy we now call feminism. Her husband was William Godwin who was also noted as the authors of works on political philosophy. He was one of the forefathers of the anarchist movement. Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin were the parents of Mary Shelley who wrote the famous book "Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus" by Mary Shelley. Frankenstein was originally published in 1818. Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin was the author before she became Mary Shelley. After Wollstonecraft's death, her widower published this Memoir (1798) of her life, revealing her unorthodox lifestyle, which inadvertently destroyed her reputation for almost a century. However, with the emergence of the feminist movement at the turn of the twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's advocacy of women's equality and critiques of conventional femininity became increasingly important. Today Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and work as important influences.
