An Unmissable Feminist Classic by Mary Wollstonecraft
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by English author Mary Wollstonecraft is a book of feminist philosophy first published in 1792 in the UK.
A celebrated classic work of early feminism, as relevant today as it was when first published.
Excerpt
‘I earnestly wish to point out in what true dignity and human happiness consists. I wish to persuade women to endeavour to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost synonymous with epithets of weakness, and that those beings are only the objects of pity, and that kind of love which has been termed its sister, will soon become objects of contempt.’
Synopsis
Wollstonecraft was prompted to write the Rights of Woman after reading Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord's 1791 report to the French National Assembly, which stated that women should only receive a domestic education; from her reaction to this specific event, she launched a broad attack against sexual double standards. This classic work of early feminism remains as relevant today as it was when first released.
