Wollstonecraft: A Vindication of the Rights of Men and a Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Hints
Wollstonecraft: A Vindication of the Rights of Men and a Vindication of the Rights of Woman and Hints | Mary Wollstonecraft, Sylvana Tomaselli
3 posts | 2 to read
Mary Wollstonecraft, often described as the first major feminist, is remembered principally as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), and there has been a tendency to view her most famous work in isolation. Yet Wollstonecraft's pronouncements about women grew out of her reflections about men, and her views on the female sex constituted an integral part of a wider moral and political critique of her times which she first fully formulated in A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790). Written as a reply to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), this is an important text in its own right as well as a necessary tool for understanding Wollstonecraft's later work. This edition brings the two texts together and also includes Hints, the notes which Wollstonecraft made towards a second, never completed, volume of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

Some women govern their husbands without degrading themselves, because intellect will always govern.

Before reason comes equality; without equality, reason will never hold sway, because only the chosen ones will hear the truth of it.
