Synopsis
This is Mary Wollstonecraft's most famous work. While she does not seek to undermine the family, she argues strongly for a woman's right to enter any sphere of activity she chooses, affirming a woman's right to fulfilment as a human and not merely as a sexual being. This was a view inevitably limited by the age in which she wrote, and this edition incorporates as appendices writings by contemporary philosophers such as Rousseau, Locke and Kant, thereby placing Wollstonecraft's thinking in context.

Book Description
In this passionate reaction to Rousseau's pedagogical work Emile (1762) Wollstonecraft powerfully defends woman's ability to reason, given appropriate education. Her radical prescription was for girls to be educated alongside boys and to the same standard. Originally published in 1792, this is a foundational work of feminist political thought.
From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Introduction by by Miriam Brody Kramnick (who also edited the book), further reading and a note on the text. Illustrated paperback binding with white coloured titles to the front panel and black coloured titles to the back strip. In this work the author, as a response to educational and moral theorists of the 18th-century who did not believe women should receive a rational education, argues that women should have a education commensurate with their position in society, that they could be companions to their husbands as opposed to merely wives; and, (most sensationally) that women were human beings and deserving the same rights as men as opposed to ornaments in society or property to be traded in marriage. Rubbing of the book edges and panels light age toning of the text block edges and pages. Faint foxing to the text block edges. First Penguin Publication. Size: 12 mo (standard paperback).
