«Vindication of the Rights of Woman» is the philosophical essay by Mary Wollstonecraft, published by Penguin in paperback (319 pages, in English).
Written in 1792, the essay argues that female inferiority stems from lack of education, not nature. Wollstonecraft calls for equal education, criticizes decorative femininity, and maintains that profession and reason should define women. It is a controversial and foundational work of feminism.
It is a reprint of the 1792 edition, with an introduction by Miriam Kramnick, and belongs to the Pelican Classics series.
For readers interested in philosophy, history of ideas and gender studies, as well as the origins of modern feminism.
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.
