Wollstonecraft, Mary writer, educationalist england 27 Apr 1759, London - 10 Sep 1797, London Grave location: Bournemouth, Dorset: St. Peter's Churchyard In het youth Mary Wollstonecraft lived at Epping and at Beverley, Yorkshire, where she met Jane Arden, with whom she developed a passionate friendship. The family moved to London, Wales and once more London. In 1784 she set up a school at Newington Green together with her sister Eliza. After the school closed in 1786 she worked as a governess for the Kingsborough family at at Mitchelstown, Ireland. After her dismissal in 1787 publisher Joseph Johnson gave her work as a translator and from then on she lived from her pen and worked mostly for him. In France she witnessed the French Revolution in 1789 and she developed a feministic way of thinking. In 1792 she published her "A Vindication to the Rights of Woman" (In 1791 Thomas Paine had published his "Rights of Man"). She had a child, Fanny, by the American Gilbert Imlay. In May 1795 she tried to kill herself, possibly because she had discovered that Imlay had an affair with another woman. In June 1795 she travelled to Scandinavia, where she stayed for a few months. Back in London she tried to take her life again by jumping into the Thames. She was rescued by an unknown after she had lost conciousness. Mary had first met the filosopher William Godwin in 1791 at Johnson's and in tey met 1796 again at Mary Hays'. Her relationship with Imlay had ended by now and she visited Godwin alone on 14 April 1796. In August they became lovers and after she became pregnant Godwin married her, allthough he had been opposed to marriage all his life. She gave birth to their daughter Mary (of later Frankenstein fame), but the mother died ten days later of an infection caused by the unhygienic pratices that were common during childbirth in those days.

Mary Wollstonecraft, 1759-1797 The Anglo-Irish feminist, intellectual and writer, Mary Wollstonecraft, was born in London, the second of six children. Her father, Edward John Wollstonecraft, was a family despot who bullied his wife, Elizabeth Dixon, into a state of wearied servitude. He spent a fortune which he had inherited in various unsuccessful ventures at farming which took the family to six different locales throughout Britain by 1780, the year Mary's mother died. At the age of nineteen Mary went out to earn her own livelihood. In 1783, she helped her sister Eliza escape a miserable marriage by hiding her from a brutal husband until a legal separation was arranged. The two sisters established a school at Newington Green, an experience from which Mary drew to write Thoughts on the Education of Daughters: With Reflections on Female Conduct, in the More Important Duties of Life (1787). Mary became the governess in the family of Lord Kingsborough, living most of the time in Ireland. Upon her dismissal in 1787, she settled in George Street, London, determined to take up a literary career. In 1788 she became translator and literary advisor to Joseph Johnson, the publisher of radical texts. In this capacity she became acquainted with and accepted among the most advanced circles of London intellectual and radical thought. When Johnson launched the

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke Mary Wollstonecraft Life and Works Bibliography Internet Sources A self-taught native of London, Mary Wollstonecraft worked as a schoolteacher and headmistress at a school she established at Newington Green with her sister Eliza. The sisters soon became convinced that the young women they tried to teach had already been effectively enslaved by their social training in subordination to men. In Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787) Wollstonecraft proposed the deliberate extrapolation of Enlightenment ideals to include education for women, whose rational natures are no less capable of intellectual achievement than are those of men. Following a period of service as a governess to Lord Kingsborough in Ireland, Wollstonecraft spent several years observing political and social developments in France, and wrote History and Moral View of the Origins and Progress of the French Revolution (1793). Her A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790) is a spirited defense of the ideals of the Revolution against the conservative objections of Burke . Upon her return to England, she joined a radical group whose membership included Blake

Sunshine for Women WHM 99, ToC Home Mary Wollstonecraft Probably the best known woman who will be discussed in this series, Wollstonecraft wrote on a variety of issues in addition to the rights, wrongs, and education of women including politics, morality, ethics, religion, the care of infants, a travelogue of her trip to Sweden, and the French revolution. She wrote in a variety of genres including letters, essays, poems, novels, and non-fiction books. Scorned in her own day and for generations afterward due to the illigitmacy of her daughter (who would become Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, author of Frankenstein and wife of the poet Shelley), her free lifestyle, and her unorthodox opinions, her Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) is today a feminist classic and she is revered as an early English feminist foremother. In Vindication Wollstonecraft applied the language of the French Revolution to women, scorned the frivilous training of women common in her time, and advocated a real education for women. Here is a short excerpt from chapter 2 of Vindication To account for, and excuse the tyranny of man, many ingenious arguments have been brought forward to prove, that the two sexes, in the acquirement of virtue, ought to aim at attaining a very different character; or, to speak explicitly, women are not allowed to have sufficient strength of mind to acquire what really deserves the name of virtue. Yet it should seem, allowing them to have souls, that there is but one way appointed by Providence to lead mankind to either virtue or happiness.

Sunshine for Women WHM 2001, ToC Home Mary Wollstonecraft So much has been written about Mary Wollstonecraft, author of the great feminist manifesto, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), that some times the woman gets lost in the myths about her and at other times it is difficult to write something new. Acclaimed as the "first feminist," a title to which Christine de Pizan has far superior claim, or as the first English feminist, to which Rachael Speght, Mary Astell, and dozens of other women have far superior claims, at other times it becomes difficult to understand why her work survived in the public consciousness while the writings of so many other women vanished into obscurity. The title, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman , reminiscent both of her earlier work, A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), and Tom Paine's Rights of Man , a runaway bestseller of 1791-1792, along with her already-established reputation conferred almost instant celebrity-status on the work. Acclaimed by reformers, denounced by supporters of the status quo (Walpole referred to her as a "hyena in petticoats"), we are left with the question, why did her reputation endure beyond her death? Many of her ideas had been discussed for generations, had become common place, and were being discussed among groups of women, such as the English upper-class Bluestockings, or the women and men active in the American and French Revolutions. Wollstonecraft herself admits that she was strongly influenced by Catharine Sawbridge Macaulay Graham's

Previous Set of Quotes Random Quotes Next Set of Quotes Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison. Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath. Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful in society, had that society been well organized. Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority.

Back to PHL002 Home Page Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) Mary was the eldest daughter and the second child in a family with 6 children. Her childhood was spent on farms in England and Wales. Her father, Edward Wollstonecraft, steadily wasted his inheritance on 6 different farms. He was a violent man, and Mary would put herself between him and her mother when he was in a rage. Her mother was docile and did not complain or change her situation. Her upbringing was unusual because she was able to play with her brothers in the countryside rather than being given the conventional refined treatment that most middle class girls experienced. She was mostly self-taught, and had little formal education. She left home at the age of 19. She worked as a companion to an elderly widow in Bath, which she found a lonely job. She returned home after a couple of years to look after her dying mother. She became the major support for her family after that, even though her elder brother had a good job in London. She financed the education of her younger brothers and sisters, helped them find employment, and helped her sister leave an unhappy marriage. In 1783, she, with her sisters and her friend Fanny Blood, started a school at Newington Green. It was a liberal school for the children of wealthy intellectuals and ministers.

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT (1759-1797) A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects . Boston: Printed by Peter Edes for Thomas and Andrews, 1792. Long before the women's movement or women's suffrage, there was Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Woman . Wollstonecraft was a progressive thinker and an outspoken advocate of the equality of the sexes. Like many pioneers struggling against outdated but dearly held conventions, she suffered much harsh criticism and never lived to see her ideals come to fruition. Always independent, Wollstonecraft had started and operated a school, and then worked as a governess before settling down to a literary career. In 1787, she became literary advisor to the publisher John Johnson of London. During this time she also wrote children's stories, a novel and some translations, and in 1792 Johnson published her now famous Vindication of the Rights of Woman Wollstonecraft's tract, written in simple and direct language, is a declaration of the rights of women to equality of education and civil opportunities, from which "they are unjustly denied a share." This stand provoked a bitter outcry, from which she escaped by going to France to observe the Revolution, and where she remained throughout the Reign of Terror. Later, she met and married the political philosopher, William Godwin, but died soon after giving birth to their daughter, Mary, who later married the poet Shelley and became famous as the author of
