Autorenporträt
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was an English philosopher and writer, born in London. Best known for her magnum opus 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' (1792), she's commonly regarded as the founder of feminist philosophy. A strong advocate for women's rights, she argued that the equality between the sexes was not due to a lack of female intelligence, but a lack of education. She passed away 11 days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, who went on to become the author of 'Frankenstein' (1818).
