Wollstonecraft, Mary From Enlightenment Revolution Jump to: navigation search Wollstonecraft, Mary (1759-1797): English Writer. Prolific novelist and essayist Mary Wollstonecraft was often attacked or deliberately ignored by the critics who immediately followed her, but she is praised today as the founder of the modern feminist movement. Wollstonecraft is best known, aside from being the mother of novelist Mary Shelley, as the writer of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), which argues for political and social equality between the sexes and encourages education for women. Wollstonecraft’s body of work is a diverse collection of carefully formed arguments covering many topics, including education, capital punishment, revolution, and women’s rights, a startling production from an era in which women were expected to be little more than graceful but silent companions for men. Wollstonecraft was born in London, in 1759, second of seven children to a weaver, Edward John Wollstonecraft, and Elizabeth Dickson. With an abusive father and a mother who focused her attentions on the eldest child, Wollstonecraft left home quickly. She opened a school, in 1784, with her sister Eliza and her closest friend Fanny Blood, but her hopes of an ideal life as an educator were short-lived. The school closed, and Blood died in 1785 after the birth of her premature child, a tragedy Wollstonecraft witnessed firsthand. In running the school, however, Wollstonecraft had made the acquaintance of minister

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Wollstonecraft, Mary, married name MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT GODWIN (b. April 27, 1759, London, Eng.d. Sept. 10, 1797, London), English writer, noted as a passionate advocate of educational and social equality for women . Her early Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787) foreshadowed her mature work on woman's place in society, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792); the core of the Vindication is educational, and its central plea is for the illumination of woman's mind. Wollstonecraft worked for the London publisher James Johnson, but in 1792 she left England to observe the French Revolution in Paris, where she passed as the wife of an American, Captain Gilbert Imlay. In the spring of 1794 she gave birth to a daughter, Fanny. The following year, distraught over the breakdown of her relationship with Imlay, she attempted suicide. She returned to London to work again for Johnson and became one of the influential radical group that centred upon his home and that included William Godwin , Thomas Paine, Thomas Holcroft, William Blake, and, after 1793, William Wordsworth. In 1796 she began a liaison with Godwin, and on March 29, 1797, Mary being pregnant, they were married. The marriage was happy but brief; Mary Wollstonecraft died 11 days after the birth of her second daughter, Mary (
