Produktbeschreibung

Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is the 18th-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished novelistic sequel to her revolutionary political treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. The novel pioneered the celebration of female sexuality and cross-class identification between women. Such themes, coupled with the publication of Godwin's scandalous Memoirs of Wollstonecraft's life, made the novel unpopular at the time it was published.Twentieth-century feminist critics embraced the work, integrating it into the history of the novel and feminist discourse. It is most often viewed as a fictionalized popularization of the Rights of Woman, as an extension of Wollstonecraft's feminist arguments in Rights of Woman, and as autobiographical.

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).
