About this book
Writing amid the ferment of the French Revolution, Mary Wollstonecraft insists that women are not decorative playthings or the property of men but rational human beings entitled to the same education and moral standing as their fathers, husbands, and brothers. She argues that the apparent frivolity of women is manufactured by a system that denies them serious learning, and she calls for schooling that develops reason and virtue rather than mere charm. Aimed partly at Rousseau and other thinkers who wanted women trained only for domestic life, the 1792 essay became a founding text of modern feminism and still anchors debates about equality and education. Free PDF and EPUB edition available.
