Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), English writer and passionate advocate of educational and social equality for women.
The daughter of a farmer, Wollstonecraft taught school and worked as a governess, experiences that inspired her views in Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787). In 1788 she began working as a translator for the London publisher James Johnson, who published several of her works, including the novel Mary: A Fiction (1788). Her mature work on woman’s place in society is A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), which calls for women and men to be educated equally.
In 1792 Wollstonecraft left England to observe the French Revolution in Paris.Wollstonecraft returned to London to work again for Johnson and joined the influential radical group that gathered at his home and that included William Godwin, Thomas Paine, Thomas Holcroft, William Blake, and, after 1793, William Wordsworth. In 1796 she began a liaison with Godwin, and on March 29, 1797, Mary being pregnant, they were married. The marriage was happy but brief; Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin died 11 days after the birth of her second daughter, Mary (Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein).
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is one of the trailblazing works of feminism. Published in 1792, Wollstonecraft’s work argued that the educational system of her time deliberately trained women to be frivolous and incapable. She posited that an educational system that allowed girls the same advantages as boys would result in women who would be not only exceptional wives and mothers but also capable workers in many professions. Other early feminists had made similar pleas for improved education for women, but Wollstonecraft’s work was unique in suggesting that the betterment of women’s status be effected through such political change as the radical reform of national educational systems. Such change, she concluded, would benefit all society.

评分教育教育
评分戳中了很多现实问题,然而还是教育女性要被enlighten这样才能拴住男人教好小孩。#个人觉得这样的女性男人应该不喜欢吧哈哈哈哈
评分the first feminist in history 不分性别的教育使男女平等
评分Wollstonecraft不怕因为女权招得自身臭名昭著,却为了Gilbert Imlay自杀两次,最后死于child birth。是说这是极致的女权主义,还是一个讽刺
评分补
