Beskrivning

This seven-volume collection brings together the known works of Mary Wollstonecraft, the eighteenth-century philosopher, writer and women’s rights advocate. Condemned by her contemporaries for her unconventional lifestyle, Wollstonecraft was later recognised as a founding figure of the feminist movement. She was also an acute observer of the political upheavals of the French revolution and advocated educational reform. Wollstonecraft’s writings, which include A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Thoughts on the Education of Daughters, are recognised as cornerstone texts in the development of feminist thought. This book is therefore a vital reference to the student of feminist history, and will also be of value to any reader interested in the origins of feminism.

'Her (Wollstonecraft's) multi-faceted genius as a writer is revealed in this definitive seven-volume collection of her works' Times Higher Education Supplement 'Wollstonecraft is now finding the readers she ought to have had all along, and the change in her fortunes to which the splendid new Pickering & Chatto edition owes its being, the edition itself will help to sustain.'
