Opis

Written in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but only appeared to be because they lacked education during that era. Wollstonecraft suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason. New 6x9 inch paperback edition. With the emergence of the feminist movement at the turn of the twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's advocacy of women's equality and critiques of conventional femininity became increasingly important. Today Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers.
