Maria; Or, The Wrongs of Woman
About this book
Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished novel depicts a woman confined to an asylum by her husband, using her plight to critique the legal and social oppression of women. Readers interested in early feminist literature and eighteenth-century fiction will find it valuable.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft was an English writer and philosopher best known for her advocacy of women's rights. Until the late twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships, received more attention than her writing. Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences.
