Historic Humanist Series Mary Wollstonecraft April 1996 Mary Wollstonecraft is recognized as a pioneer in the struggle for recognition of the equality of women. Born April 27, 1759, she came into this world at a time when females were in chattel slavery. During her short life, 38 years, she wrote extensively concerning the enslavement of half of the human race. She promoted the idea that women are capable of more than marriage and motherhood, that they are entitled to the same opportunities as men. Her most famous book, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was published in 1792, just 5-years before her untimely death. Mary's philosophy can be exemplified with this quotation: ";That being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but reason." Much of her intellectual energy was directed toward gaining equal educational opportunities for females. Mary Wollstonecraft died March 29.1797, one month before what would have been her 38th birthday. Flo Winriter

The Week's Famous and Infamous Women I do not wish women to have power over men, but over themselves. Mary Wollstonecraft 18th-Century Feminist Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) The fact that her father was a brute who bullied his wife and children probably had much to do with Mary Wollstonecraft's abhorrence of marriage and love of independence, but while her circumstances were not uncommon in the 18th century, her views most decidedly were. Mary supported herself financially from the time she was 19 years old, primarily by working as a governess. In 1788, she began working for Joseph Johnson (a publisher of radical literature) as a translator, advisor, and regular contributor of articles to Johnson's Analytical Review . Through Johnson, Mary met many of London's intellectuals and radical thinkers. Her first book, Vindication of the Rights of Man , was written in rebuttal to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France . Unlike Burke, Mary was sympathetic to the cause of the French Revolution. Two years later, Mary published what has become her most famous work, Vindication of the Rights of Woman . Often cited as the first important feminist manifesto, Mary's book advocated equality of the sexes, and argued that education was the key for giving women both self-respect and a positive self-image. She contended that marriage, because it stripped a woman of all rights and property ownership, was nothing more than legalized prostitution, and that women's confined, slothful existence often turned them into tyrants over their children and servants. Needless to say, Mary's views were not exactly embraced with open arms by 18th century English society, and her notoriety went up several notches in 1798 when she published the fictional

Search the Dictionary Notes for Contributors Information Form Contributors Unitarian Universalist Association ... Notable American Unitarians Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), a revolutionary advocate of equal rights for women, was an inspiration for both the nineteenth-century and twentieth-century women's movements. Wollstonecraft was not merely a woman's rights advocate. She asserted the innate rights of all people, whom she thought victims of a society that assigned people their roles, comforts, and satisfactions according to the false distinctions of class, age, and gender. Mary endured a difficult childhood, denied the advantages and affection lavished on her older brother. She often had to protect her mother from the drunken rage of her father, the son of a master weaver from London who tried unsucessfully to set himself up as a gentleman farmer. Many other eighteenth-century girls had to endure similar injustices and hardships. It was Mary's genius that allowed her to rise above these severe handicaps and transform her experience into a dream of a reordered society. As a young woman Wollstonecraft supported herself as a lady's companion, seamstress, governess, and schoolteacher. She was largely self-educated. From 1782 until 1785 Wollstonecraft was a congregant at the Unitarian chapel at Newington Green, during which time she was influenced by its minister, Richard Price. Through her friendship with Dr. Price she entered a circle of intellectuals and radicals, including Joseph Priestley, Thomas Paine, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, and William Godwin. Between 1788 and 1792 she was a translator and reviewer for publisher Joseph Johnson. Her work frequently appeared in his periodical

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797). Mary Wollstonecraft is usually called "the first feminist". In 1793 she became famous by her polemical book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman". In this she carried on a controversy against the outlook on women in her time. She turned her disgust against the 18th century's way of seeing women just as sexual beings. She asserted woman's right to intellectual development and economic independence. Mary wrote some more books and was going through a lot of difficulties, both considering work, friendship and love. Among other disappointments she was abandoned by the American Gilbert Imlay while being pregnant with their daughter Fanny. Finally Mary found a sole mate in the radical philosopher William Godwin. Her happiness did not last long. After a time of acquaintance the couple married because of Mary's pregnancy. A few days after the birth of their daughter Mary in 1797, Mary Wollstonecraft died in puerperal fever. William Godwin brought up the two children. Fanny Imlay committed suicide in the age of nineteen. Mary

Publication Introduction Contents Images ... Contact Mary Wollstonecraft Wollstonecraft used the rationalist and egalitarian ideas of late eighteenth-century radical liberalism to attack the subjugation of women and to display its roots in the social construction of gender. Her political philosophy draws on Rousseau's philosophical anthropology, rational religion, and an original moral psychology which integrates reason and feeling in the production of virtue. Relations between men and women are corrupted by artificial gender distinctions, just as political relations are corrupted by artificial distinctions of rank, wealth and power. Conventional, artificial morality distinguishes between male and female virtue; true virtue is gender-neutral, consists in the imitation of God, and depends on the unimpeded development of natural faculties common to both sexes, including both reason and passion. Political justice and private virtue are interdependent: neither can advance without an advance in the other. See also: Feminism Further reading Sapiro, V. (1992)

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT English author and feminist (1759-1797) From Vindication of the Rights of Woman , London, 1792: "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. ... "If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of woman, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test. "I love man as my fellow; but his sceptre, real or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man. In fact, the conduct of an accountable being must be regulated by the operations of its own reason; or on what foundation rests the throne of God?. "Liberty is the mother of virtue, and if women be, by their very constitution, slaves, and not allowed to breathe the sharp invigorating air of freedom, they must ever languish like exotics, and be reckoned beautiful flaws in nature. "[As] sound politics diffuse liberty, mankind, including woman, will become more wise and virtuous."
