Wollstonecraft, Mary
(2023) In Studies in the History of Law and Justice 23. p.347-358- Abstract
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) was an English philosopher in the Enlightenment tradition, writer, novelist, and book reviewer. She was an advocate for women’s rights and for equality of wealth and privilege and supported the French Revolution. She made her name in 1790 as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Men, the first published commentary on Edmund Burke’s critique of the French Revolution and defense of aristocratic privilege. Her book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, published in 1792, counts as a pioneering work in the history of feminism.
