Mary Wollstonecraft was entirely self-taught. She overcame all the disadvantages that she inherited -- poverty (her abusive, sybaritic father squandered the family fortune), the frivolous education girls were provided, and the narrow career choices they were limited to.

Mary Wollstonecraft was entirely self-taught. She overcame all the disadvantages that she inherited -- poverty (her abusive, sybaritic father squandered the family fortune), the frivolous education girls were provided, and the narrow career choices they were limited to. Mary's life changed when Thomas Paine's publisher Joseph Johnson set out to make her a writer. Her great feminist document, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which brought her fame throughout Europe, insisted that women reap all the new liberties men were celebrating since the fall of the Bastille in France. Wollstonecraft lived as fully as a man would, socializing with the great painters, poets, and revolutionaries of her era. She traveled to Paris during the French Revolution and openly bore the child of an American who deserted her. Wollstonecraft found domestic peace with the philosopher William Godwin but died giving birth to their daughter, Mary, who married Percy Bysshe Shelley, wrote the classic Frankenstein, and carried on her mother's bold ideas. Her Own Woman is distinguished by the author's use of new first sources, among which are Joseph Johnson's letters, discovered by an heir in the late nineties, and rare letters referring to Wollstonecraft's lover, Gilbert Imlay.
