Expand description
Considered the first major feminist, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) worked as a governess, teacher, journalist, and translator. In 1788 she published the semi-autobiographical Mary, A Fiction, followed by the anthology The Female Reader. Wollstonecraft became part of the radical intellectual circle that included William Godwin, William Blake, and Thomas Paine. Her A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) was the first sustained argument for women's emancipation. She died a few days after giving birth to Mary Shelley, the future author of Frankenstein.
