A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

1792 feminist essay by Mary Wollstonecraft

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects is a 1792 essay by British philosopher and women's rights advocate Mary Wollstonecraft. It is considered a feminist or, more precisely, proto-feminist piece, and one of the pioneering works in the tradition now known as feminist philosophy. In this essay, Wollstonecraft refutes those educational and political theorists of the eighteenth century who did not believe women should receive a full education.
