Mary Wollstonecraft's 'Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' is a collection of essays and letters that continue to advocate for women's rights and social equality. Written in Wollstonecraft's signature persuasive and eloquent style, the book addresses various societal issues including education, marriage, and political representation. This posthumous work serves as a continuation of her groundbreaking feminist manifesto, 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman', contributing to the literary landscape of the late 18th century and early 19th century. Wollstonecraft's emphasis on the importance of women's education and participation in public life remains relevant and thought-provoking today. Mary Wollstonecraft, a prominent feminist philosopher and writer, was a pioneer in advocating for women's rights during the Enlightenment era. Her personal experiences and observations of the limitations imposed on women in society drove her to challenge prevailing societal norms and argue for gender equality. Wollstonecraft's legacy in feminist literature continues to inspire readers and scholars alike. I highly recommend 'Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' to those interested in feminist philosophy and the history of women's rights movements. Wollstonecraft's passionate and insightful writings offer valuable perspectives on gender equality and social justice.

Mary Wollstonecraft

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.
