Beskrivning

Best known as author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), if not also as mother of Frankenstein’s author Mary Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft survived domestic violence and unusual independent womanhood to write engaging letters, fiction, history, critical reviews, handbooks and treatises. Her work on coeducational thought was a major early modern influence upon the development of a post-Enlightenment tradition, and continues to have vital relevance today.Celebrated as an early modern feminist, abolitionist and socialist philosopher, Wollstonecraft had little formal schooling, but still worked as a governess, school-teacher and educational writer. This succinct critical account of that prolific research begins by recounting her revolutionary self-education. Susan Laird explains how Wollstonecraft came to criticize moral flaws in both men’s and women’s private education based on irrational assumptions about ‘sexual character’ under the Divine Right of Kings. It was to remedy those moral flaws of monarchist education that Wollstonecraft theorized her influential, but incomplete, concept of publicly financed, universal, egalitarian coeducation.

Recensioner i media

There can be little doubt that Laird’s book will itself, become an integral and important part of future conversations about the life and philosophy of Mary Wollstonecraft. To my knowledge, there is no more careful, imaginative, provocative scholarship on the coeducational thought of Mary Wollstonecraft than Laird’s.
