A Vindication of the Rights of Woman |
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 - 1797) |
Written in 1792 it is one of the earliest works on "the woman question". The controversial life of its author caused the earliest feminists to distance themselves from the work. Some major themes include education for girls, the debased position of women in society, the necessary equality of men and women, and the right of women to work. |
