A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

О книге

"It is time to effect a revolution in female manners - time to restore them their lost dignity - and make them, as a part of the human species, labour by reforming themselves to reform the world." A cornerstone of feminist literature, Mary Wollstonecraft's courageous argument defending the inherent worth of the female gender has inspired activists and ordinary readers since its first publication. By focusing on providing a good education for all women, she laid out a blueprint to create a better society, where women could pursue their own hopes and dreams and be more than the mere property of their husbands.
