Extractions: MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT was born on the 27th of April 1759. Her father's name was Edward John, and the name of her mother Elizabeth, of the family of Dixons of Ballyshannon in the kingdom of Ireland: her paternal grandfather was a respectable manufacturer in Spitalfields, and is supposed to have left to his son a property of about 10,000l. Three of her brothers and two sisters are still living; their names, Edward, James, Charles, Eliza, and Everina. Of these, Edward only was older than herself; he resides in London. James is in Paris, and Charles in or near Philadelphia in America. Her sisters have for some years been engaged in the office of governesses in private families, and are both at present in Ireland. I am doubtful whether the father of Mary was bred to any profession; but, about the time of her birth, he resorted, rather perhaps as an amusement than a business, to the occupation of farming. He was of a very active, and somewhat versatile disposition, and so frequently changed his abode, as to throw some ambiguity upon the place of her birth. She told me, that the doubt in her mind in that respect, lay between London, and a farm upon Epping Forest, which was the principal scene of the first five years of her life.

Extractions: Matilda by Mary Shelley The Pickering Women's Classics Edited by Janet Todd This book brings together three extraordinary novels by an extraordinary pair, Mary Wollstonecraft - radical, feminist and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman - and Mary Shelley, her daughter, author of Frankenstein . Although Mary Shelley never knew her mother who died giving birth to her, the concerns of the daughter in Matilda reflect upon the convictions of the mother in Mary and Maria - that women have the right to equality of education and opportunity, to fair treatment in marriage and under the law, and, most controversially, that women have a duty to themselves to reject the trappings and false allure of traditional definitions of femininity and embrace a richer, wider notion of womanhood. Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is generally recognised as the mother of the feminist movement. She expressed her ideas in her first novel, Mary, a Fiction

Extractions: Works Bio-Bibliographical Note Acknowledgements Usage A Vindication of the Rights of Woman "Reviled in her day as a 'hyena in petticoats', Mary Wollstonecraft is now recognized as one of the mothers of British and American feminism. In her most famous work, Vindication of the Rights of Woman , which was published in 1792 in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft applies radical principles of liberty and equality to sexual politics. Rights of Woman is a devastating critique of the 'false system of education' which she argues forced the middle-class women of her time to live within a stifling ideal of femininity: 'Taught from infancy that beauty is women's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage seeks only to adore its prison'. Instead, Wollenstonecraft dares to address women as 'rational creatures', and she urges them to aspire to a wider human ideal which combines feeling with reason and the right to independence. "Wollstonecraft's difficult, brave and tragically short life was itself a continual quest for financial, intellectual and sexual independence. Determined to make her own living, she initially endured the orthodox female occupations of paid companion and governess, but by the time she published

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft , a product of the Enlightenment, Romanticism , and the American and French Revolutions, was born in the 1750's. She was the child of a marginal gentry farmer and an unloving mother. She began her protests of thecondition of women at an early age by protecting her mother from her father's abuse and resenting her brother's favored position. Mary was a passionate, generous, and demanding girl. Shedecided at an early age to be independent. This may not seem that shocking in today's society, but in her time period gentry women did notwork outside the home regardless of how poor they were. At the age of nineteen she took a position as a paid companion. At twenty-one she declared that she would never marry. She had witnessed her father's tyranny over her mother and did not desire the same for herself. Marriage gave the husband legal ownership of his wife, her property, and their children and a woman could not obtain a divorce. By being against marriage, she was far ahead of her time. The ultimate goal for women of the 1700's was a good marriage and children. Her first major act of social defiance was rescuing her sister, Eliza, from a miserable marriage even though Eliza had to leave her child behind. Mary realized that the only way to be truly free was to remain unmarried. Over the next seven years Mary worked as a governess. Unfortunately the work was frustrating for her because she was so intelligent and ambitious. Thus at the age of twenty-eight she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) Mary Wollstonecraft does not grow up in a very harmonious household. Her father is a heavy drinker and tyrannises her mother. As she witnesses and sometimes even tries to stop the abuse, it was perhaps inevitable that Mary would turn out to be one of the first feminists. At the age of 27, she writes her first article "Thoughts on the Education of Daughters" in 1786. It does not take long for people to recognise her for her remarkable writing skills. Besides writing original works, she also writes reviews and does translations. In earlier works, Mary Wollstonecraft writes about "the disabilities and sufferings of the English lower classes" . But in her most famous works, Mary focuses more on the oppression of women. This is the central theme of her most famous work A Vindication of the Rights of Woman . Never before were the sufferings and indignities of women so passionately described. In writing this work, Mary "had found the cause she was to pursue for the rest of her life."

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was the first champion of women's rights in the modern Western world. Wollstonecraft's experience teaching young women in London led her to write her first book, in which she argued for equal education for girls and boys. The moderate success of her autobiographical novel Mary, A Fiction convinced her to start writing full-time. Under the tutelage of her publisher and mentor Joseph Johnson, she joined a circle of liberal intellectuals which included poet and artist William Blake, chemist Joseph Priestley, and political thinker William Godwin. In 1790 Wollstonecraft penned A Vindication of the Rights of Men , an impassioned reply to conservative criticism of the French Revolution and a call for social equality. She developed her ideas further in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman , which extended the notion of natural rights to include women's rights as well. Going so far as to suggest that women should be allowed to vote, Wollstonecraft's revolutionary ideas garnered her overnight fameand notoriety. She traveled to Paris, lived through the Reign of Terror, fell in love with an American, and gave birth to her first daughter. Though the love affair ended tragically, resulting in her thwarted suicide attempt, she happily wed William Godwin in 1797. That year she gave birth to her second child (the future author of

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) Wollstonecraft was born in Spitalfields in London on April 27 th 1759. Her family moved frequently around Britain, as her often violent father, a drunkard and a gambler, fled a succession of bankruptcies. Wollstonecraft did not attend school but was largely self-educated. In 1778, Wollstonecraft left home to work as a companion in Bath, but was called home to Enfield to nurse her dying Mother. In 1784, Wollstonecraft rescued her sister Eliza from her violent husband, and, together with best-friend Fanny Blood, they opened a school in Newington Green. Shortly after Blood died, the school failed. Wollstonecraft's first published work Thoughts on the Education of Daughters appeared at this time. To pay off her debt, and support her family, Wollstonecraft took a position as governess to the daughters of Lord Kingsborough, until dismissed in 1787. She was taken in by her London publisher, Joseph Johnson She continued publishing works on education and edited Johnson's Analytical Review In 1792, Wollstonecraft published the first reply to Burke in the debate on the

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) started it allshe ignited the notion that women were the equals of men. She was a revolutionary for women, when they were chattels. In her day women were barred from universities, professions, the vote, owning property, and had only the rights of those the law classified as an idiot. There were no custody battles in divorce cases as the men won them all because women could not own property (children), and the probate courts placed the husband in control of the wife's inheritance. It was all so consistent with the Bible that one could only deduce these were godly laws. Besides, the courts were not so crowded when only half the population could sue, be sued, or enter into a contract. In her brief life she would attempt to change all that by becoming the grandmother of the movement to free her sex from the dogmas and traditions and laws grounded to "our barbaric past."

Extractions: Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft , a late eighteenth century feminist psychologist, died at thirty-eight years of age after giving birth to a famous daughter. Her social activism for the equality of women influenced her psychological studies. Wollstonecraft developed a very sophisticated view of the relationship between emotion and reason. During the eighteenth century the psychological process of emotion was seen as a disturbance and weakness of the human mind. Mary Wollstonecraft proposed that emotions could provide a point of view on a situation that supplemented the point of view given to us by reason alone. She conceded to the notion that women were more influenced by emotions than men but that this sensibility did not vindicate keeping them uneducated or unequal. In 1792 she wrote Vindication of the Rights of Women, advocating equality of the sexes. She died in London, the city of her birth in 1797. Her daughter, Mary Shelley, enhanced the literary world by writing Frankenstein. Benjafield, John G., (1996)

Wollstonecraft said that men considered women morally and mentally inferior to themselves. She argued that women could live happy, creative lives if they had better educational opportunities. She based her book on the democratic principles of the French Revolution (1789-1799) and on her own experiences. Wollstonecraft was born in London. She educated herself by studying books at home.
