    Extractions: Works Bio-Bibliographical Note Acknowledgements Usage A Vindication of the Rights of Woman "Reviled in her day as a 'hyena in petticoats', Mary Wollstonecraft is now recognized as one of the mothers of British and American feminism. In her most famous work, Vindication of the Rights of Woman , which was published in 1792 in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft applies radical principles of liberty and equality to sexual politics. Rights of Woman is a devastating critique of the 'false system of education' which she argues forced the middle-class women of her time to live within a stifling ideal of femininity: 'Taught from infancy that beauty is women's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage seeks only to adore its prison'. Instead, Wollenstonecraft dares to address women as 'rational creatures', and she urges them to aspire to a wider human ideal which combines feeling with reason and the right to independence. "Wollstonecraft's difficult, brave and tragically short life was itself a continual quest for financial, intellectual and sexual independence. Determined to make her own living, she initially endured the orthodox female occupations of paid companion and governess, but by the time she published

    http://www.btinternet.com/~glynhughes/squashed/wollstonecraft.htm
    
    Extractions: At the heart of Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women, are the twin virtues of freedom of thought and devotion to family. Few people have so well combined the two as Mary herself, the presiding matriarch of one of the most remarkable families of free-thinkers the West has ever seen. Mary Wollstonecraft may be the "mother of feminism", yet, for all that she was called a "hyena in petticoats", by today's standards she seems somewhat prudish and more than modest in her aims. She does not lay any claim to equal opportunity for women, but rather allows for the sort of variation in the roles of the sexes which her sucessors might now call 'difference feminism' ABOUT THIS SQUASHED EDITION This condensed edition reduces the original 85,000 words by nearly 90%, but, as Wollstonecraft is an unusually repetitive writer, no great amount of her sense has been lost. BIBLIOGRAPHY Although the Vindication is often stated to be the first feminist text, the anonymous Womans Worth, recently discovered at Leigh, England, predates Wollstonecraft by some 150 years.The Vindications is, to a great extent, a response to the many 'Conduct Manuals' circulating at the time.

Often reviled by her contemporaries, today she is considered a 'modern' heroine. Biographer Janet Todd analyses Wollstonecraft's contribution to women's rights and recognises an enduring spirit. Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women was published at the end of the 18th century - a century marked by the emergence of the philosophical spirit and the concept of 'enlightenment', by the gradual erosion of monarchical authority (which reached its apex with the French Revolution in 1789), and by the birth of democracy. While the question of the rights of men engendered lively debate at that time, a woman's lot remained unconsidered. Wollstonecraft, however, was determined to change this and to add a dissenting female voice to the chorus debating political emancipation.

Mary Wollstonecraft (April 27, 1759 – September 10, 1797) was a British intellectual, writer, philosopher , and early feminist . She wrote several novels, essays, and children's books, but is best known for her A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), a criticism of Edmund Burke 's pamphlet on the French Revolution , and A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), regarded as her most important work. Wollstonecraft argued that all men and women had equal natural rights, and that an ideal society could not be realized until everyone was free to exercise those rights. False gender distinctions corrupted the relationships between men and women, and prevented either from developing true virtue. Virtue , which consisted of imitating God, could only be cultivated when natural faculties common to both men and women, such as reason and passion, were allowed to develop unimpeded. She spoke out against the situation of women in the eighteenth century, declaring that they were educated to be submissive to men and to value physical attractiveness over character and intelligence. Wollstonecraft was married to the philosopher William Godwin , a prominent atheist and one of the forefathers of the anarchist movement, and was the mother of

    Extractions: Internet Sources A self-taught native of London, Mary Wollstonecraft worked as a schoolteacher and headmistress at a school she established at Newington Green with her sister Eliza. The sisters soon became convinced that the young women they tried to teach had already been effectively enslaved by their social training in subordination to men. In Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787) Wollstonecraft proposed the deliberate extrapolation of Enlightenment ideals to include education for women, whose rational natures are no less capable of intellectual achievement than are those of men. Following a period of service as a governess to Lord Kingsborough in Ireland, Wollstonecraft spent several years observing political and social developments in France, and wrote History and Moral View of the Origins and Progress of the French Revolution (1793). Her A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790) is a spirited defense of the ideals of the Revolution against the conservative objections of Burke . Upon her return to England, she joined a radical group whose membership included Blake

    Extractions: Wollstonecraft was strongly influence by Thomas Paine and argued that women deserved equal rights. She saw how her own father treated her mother as property and refused to allow the same future. When she became old enough, she earned a living as a governess, but was bored with this work and wanted to challenge her intellect. When she was 28, she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel titled "Maria". She soon moved to London and became an admired professional writer and editor who wrote about the rights of women and children. Wollstonecraft experienced two romantic affairs and gave birth to Fanny before falling in love with William Godwin. By November, 1796, she became pregnant with their only child, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Godwin and she were married in March of the following year. During the summer, she began writing "The Wrongs of Women: or Maria". Shelley was born on August 30 and Wollstonecraft died less than two weeks later. Godwin raised both Fanny and Mary surrounded by philosophers and poets, such as Coleridge and Lamb. He also taught Mary to read and spell her name by having her trace her mother's inscription on the stone.

After the school closed in 1786 she worked as a governess for the Kingsborough family at at Mitchelstown, Ireland. She had a child, Fanny, by the American Gilbert Imlay.
