«Mary and the Wrongs of Woman» is the volume that brings together two novels by Mary Wollstonecraft, published by Oxford University Press in paperback, in English.
The volume brings together the novels Mary: A Fiction and The Wrongs of Woman. Mary suffers an imposed marriage and seeks affection in passionate friendships; in The Wrongs of Woman, a woman confined to an asylum by her husband finds solace in another patient. Both criticize patriarchal marriage and female oppression.
Edition edited by Gary Kelly in the World's Classics series; includes Mary (1788) and The Wrongs of Woman (1798).
For readers of English classics and feminist literature, as well as students interested in the eighteenth-century novel.
Mary Wollstonecraft was an English writer and philosopher best known for her advocacy of women's rights. Until the late twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships, received more attention than her writing. Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences.
