Mary Wollstonecraft's passionate declaration of female independence shattered the
stereotype of docile, decorative womanhood, anticipated a new era of equality and
established her as the founder of modern feminism.
Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we
see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution.
They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and
destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals
and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are.
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-97) was an educational, political and feminist writer who
early in her life worked as a companion, teacher and governess. In 1788 she settled in
London as a translator and reader for the publisher Joseph Johnson, becoming part of the
radical set that included Paine, Blake, Godwin and the painter Fuseli. Her great work, A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman, was published in 1792. She lived in Paris during
the French Revolution and had a child by the American Gilbert Imlay, who deserted her. She
returned to London in 1795 and, following her attempted suicide, became involved with
Godwin, whom she married in 1797, shortly before the birth (which proved fatal) of her
daughter, the future Mary Shelley. She left several unfinished works, including Maria.
