This revolutionary work from the eighteenth century is one of the
first tracts of feminist philosophy Mary Wollstonecraft wrote A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman in opposition to the gender norms
of the eighteenth century. In this seminal text, Wollstonecraft argues
that women should receive a comprehensive education in order to
benefit society. Women and men, she argues, are moral equals in the
eyes of God, and women, at the time that Wollstonecraft was writing,
occupied an inferior station because they were trained to serve only
men rather than civilization as a whole. Written in response to
Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord’s assertion that women ought
only to receive a domestic education and should be confined to the
home, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was a remarkably
forward-thinking political text. This ebook has been professionally
proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
