Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke Mary Wollstonecraft Life and Works Bibliography Internet Sources A self-taught native of London, Mary Wollstonecraft worked as a schoolteacher and headmistress at a school she established at Newington Green with her sister Eliza. The sisters soon became convinced that the young women they tried to teach had already been effectively enslaved by their social training in subordination to men. In Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787) Wollstonecraft proposed the deliberate extrapolation of Enlightenment ideals to include education for women, whose rational natures are no less capable of intellectual achievement than are those of men. Following a period of service as a governess to Lord Kingsborough in Ireland, Wollstonecraft spent several years observing political and social developments in France, and wrote History and Moral View of the Origins and Progress of the French Revolution (1793). Her A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790) is a spirited defense of the ideals of the Revolution against the conservative objections of Burke . Upon her return to England, she joined a radical group whose membership included Blake

The family moved a great deal during Mary's childhood and she lived for periods at Epping, Barking, Beverley, Hoxton, Walworth and Laugharne in Wales. In 1784 Mary Wollstonecraft opened a school in Newington Green, a small village close to Hackney, with her sister Eliza and a friend, Fanny Blood . Soon after arriving in Newington Green, Mary made friends with Richard Price , a minister at the local Dissenting Chapel. Price and his friend, Joseph Priestly , were the leaders of a group of men known a s Rational Dissenters . Price had w ritten several books including the very influential Review of the Principal Questions of Morals (1758) where he argued that individual conscience and reason should be used when making moral choices. Price also rejected the traditional Christian ideas of original sin and eternal punishment. As a result of these religious views, some Anglicans acc used Rational Dissenters of being atheists.

Mary Wollstonecraft, 1759-1797 The Anglo-Irish feminist, intellectual and writer, Mary Wollstonecraft, was born in London, the second of six children. Her father, Edward John Wollstonecraft, was a family despot who bullied his wife, Elizabeth Dixon, into a state of wearied servitude. He spent a fortune which he had inherited in various unsuccessful ventures at farming which took the family to six different locales throughout Britain by 1780, the year Mary's mother died. At the age of nineteen Mary went out to earn her own livelihood. In 1783, she helped her sister Eliza escape a miserable marriage by hiding her from a brutal husband until a legal separation was arranged. The two sisters established a school at Newington Green, an experience from which Mary drew to write Thoughts on the Education of Daughters: With Reflections on Female Conduct, in the More Important Duties of Life (1787). Mary became the governess in the family of Lord Kingsborough, living most of the time in Ireland. Upon her dismissal in 1787, she settled in George Street, London, determined to take up a literary career. In 1788 she became translator and literary advisor to Joseph Johnson, the publisher of radical texts. In this capacity she became acquainted with and accepted among the most advanced circles of London intellectual and radical thought. When Johnson launched the

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT (1759-1797) A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects . Boston: Printed by Peter Edes for Thomas and Andrews, 1792. Long before the women's movement or women's suffrage, there was Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Woman . Wollstonecraft was a progressive thinker and an outspoken advocate of the equality of the sexes. Like many pioneers struggling against outdated but dearly held conventions, she suffered much harsh criticism and never lived to see her ideals come to fruition. Always independent, Wollstonecraft had started and operated a school, and then worked as a governess before settling down to a literary career. In 1787, she became literary advisor to the publisher John Johnson of London. During this time she also wrote children's stories, a novel and some translations, and in 1792 Johnson published her now famous Vindication of the Rights of Woman Wollstonecraft's tract, written in simple and direct language, is a declaration of the rights of women to equality of education and civil opportunities, from which "they are unjustly denied a share." This stand provoked a bitter outcry, from which she escaped by going to France to observe the Revolution, and where she remained throughout the Reign of Terror. Later, she met and married the political philosopher, William Godwin, but died soon after giving birth to their daughter, Mary, who later married the poet Shelley and became famous as the author of

Sunshine for Women WHM 99, ToC Home Mary Wollstonecraft Probably the best known woman who will be discussed in this series, Wollstonecraft wrote on a variety of issues in addition to the rights, wrongs, and education of women including politics, morality, ethics, religion, the care of infants, a travelogue of her trip to Sweden, and the French revolution. She wrote in a variety of genres including letters, essays, poems, novels, and non-fiction books. Scorned in her own day and for generations afterward due to the illigitmacy of her daughter (who would become Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, author of Frankenstein and wife of the poet Shelley), her free lifestyle, and her unorthodox opinions, her Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) is today a feminist classic and she is revered as an early English feminist foremother. In Vindication Wollstonecraft applied the language of the French Revolution to women, scorned the frivilous training of women common in her time, and advocated a real education for women. Here is a short excerpt from chapter 2 of Vindication To account for, and excuse the tyranny of man, many ingenious arguments have been brought forward to prove, that the two sexes, in the acquirement of virtue, ought to aim at attaining a very different character; or, to speak explicitly, women are not allowed to have sufficient strength of mind to acquire what really deserves the name of virtue. Yet it should seem, allowing them to have souls, that there is but one way appointed by Providence to lead mankind to either virtue or happiness.

Sunshine for Women WHM 2001, ToC Home Mary Wollstonecraft So much has been written about Mary Wollstonecraft, author of the great feminist manifesto, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), that some times the woman gets lost in the myths about her and at other times it is difficult to write something new. Acclaimed as the "first feminist," a title to which Christine de Pizan has far superior claim, or as the first English feminist, to which Rachael Speght, Mary Astell, and dozens of other women have far superior claims, at other times it becomes difficult to understand why her work survived in the public consciousness while the writings of so many other women vanished into obscurity. The title, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman , reminiscent both of her earlier work, A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), and Tom Paine's Rights of Man , a runaway bestseller of 1791-1792, along with her already-established reputation conferred almost instant celebrity-status on the work. Acclaimed by reformers, denounced by supporters of the status quo (Walpole referred to her as a "hyena in petticoats"), we are left with the question, why did her reputation endure beyond her death? Many of her ideas had been discussed for generations, had become common place, and were being discussed among groups of women, such as the English upper-class Bluestockings, or the women and men active in the American and French Revolutions. Wollstonecraft herself admits that she was strongly influenced by Catharine Sawbridge Macaulay Graham's
