In the United States, other women advocated women's equality throughout the 1800's by working for the right to vote, own property, and obtain the same education as men. Library of Congress photos Capitol Statue of some leaders of the early women's movement. Wollstonecraft, Mary (1759-1797) Mary Wollstonecraft, a British author, was best known for her book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). This book was one of the first to claim that women should have equality with men. Wollstonecraft said that men considered women morally and mentally inferior to themselves. She argued that women could live happy, creative lives if they had better educational opportunities. She based her book on the democratic principles of the French Revolution (1789-1799) and on her own experiences. Wollstonecraft was born in London. She educated herself by studying books at home. For a brief period, she and her sisters ran a school. From this experience, she wrote

Mary Wollstonecraft Donna, fragile fiore! Perché sei stata condannata ad adornare un mondo esposto a tali tempestosi elementi? L’oppressione della donna”, M. Wollstonecraft) Al reverendo Polwhele dovette proprio sembrare un segno del Cielo, un castigo divino, la morte per parto di Mary Wollstonecraft, femminista, scrittrice e pedagogista, donna ed intellettuale ribelle ad ogni convenzione, dalla vita movimentata e discutibile, che aveva osato rivendicare l’uguaglianza delle donne proponendosi, anche nel suo ultimo romanzo lasciato incompiuto, “L’oppressione della donna”, di mostrare le ingiustizie subite dalle donne di varie condizioni, ugualmente opprimenti, anche se diverse per via delle differenze nell’educazione , se, un anno dopo la sua morte, precisò che era morta d’una morte tale da provare ineluttabilmente la differenza tra i sessi, e da evidenziare il destino delle donne Mary, che da ragazza s’era ripromessa di non sposarsi mai, morì il 30 agosto del 1797 per febbre puerperale, dieci giorni dopo aver partorito la figlia Mary (Mary Shelley, che sarebbe poi divenuta l’autrice del famoso romanzo di Frankenstein). Nell’imminenza del lieto evento aveva smesso di scrivere per prepararvisi in serenità; aveva chiesto di essere aiutata soltanto dalla levatrice, di non avere maschi intorno a sé, ed invece fu assistita da un medico negligente che le causò l’infezione fatale.

Bates College History Courses MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT: THE FIRST MODERN FEMINIST AND THE FIRST DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION History s39 John Cole OBJECTIVES In the 1970's, toward the beginnings of the vigorous, sustained, and institutionalized academic study of women in American colleges and universities, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was finally established in the Pantheon of modern feminism as a sort of Founding Mother. Her remarkably liberated personal life, as much as her radical works, had long offended traditionalists. But in an era of women's liberation and self-conscious radicalism, these very qualities won her newly respectful attention from a new generation of scholars. Many of them have an enviable grasp of British literature and English society, but few have come to the subject with more than a vague understanding of the French Revolution. Contrarily, historians of that Revolution have shown little interest in the somewhat eccentric Englishwoman who left London for Paris in December 1792, when the nations were on the verge of war, but then recoiled from the Terror and played no public role in the epochal events on the Continent and limited her published commentary to the more peaceful year of 1789. Despite the Furies of Dickens's imagination, Mme. Defarge and the Vengeance, the Revolution was generally a man's affair, fundamentally concerned with 'the rights of man' but unconcerned with the rights of women. Nevertheless, the Revolution was inspired by ideals (Liberty and Equality) that, in principle, can be and subsequently have been extended to questions of women's rights and gender relations.

Essays Links Sources Home [an error occurred while processing this directive] Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft , a product of the Enlightenment, Romanticism , and the American and French Revolutions, was born in the 1750's. She was the child of a marginal gentry farmer and an unloving mother. She began her protests of the condition of women at an early age by protecting her mother from her father's abuse and resenting her brother's favored position. Mary was a passionate, generous, and demanding girl. She decided at an early age to be independent. This may not seem that shocking in today's society, but in her time period gentry women did not work outside the home regardless of how poor they were. At the age of nineteen she took a position as a paid companion. At she declared that she would never marry. She had witnessed her father's tyranny over her mother and did not desire the same for herself. Marriage gave the husband legal ownership of his wife, her property, and their children and a woman could not obtain a divorce. By being against marriage, she was far ahead of her time. The ultimate goal for women of the 1700's was a good marriage and children. Her first major act of social defiance was rescuing her sister, Eliza, from a miserable marriage even though Eliza had to leave her child behind. Mary realized that the only way to be truly free was to remain unmarried. Over the next seven years Mary worked as a governess. Unfortunately the work was frustrating for her because she was so intelligent and ambitious. Thus at the age of twenty-eight she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel

Women's History Resource Site King's College History Department Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft, author of A Vindication of the Rights of Women , is one of the earliest feminists in Western Civilization. When she was nineteen, she and her sister founded and taught in a school, an experience which led her to write Thoughts on the Education of Daughters , in which she asserted her view that the young girls she taught had been "enslaved" by men through their social training. Joining the radical thinkers of her day, she published A Vindication of the Rights of Men in 1790. This was, in essence, a defense of the democratic ideals which had developed in society as a result of the Revolutionboth French and American. By far Wollstonecraft's most famous work, through which she gained her then unsavory reputation as a feminist, was A Vindication of the Rights of Women. This controversial work argued for the need for more civil rights for women, a cause which Wollstonecraft believed could only be furthered by permitting women better education .She asserted that a woman was capable of any intellectual feat that a man wasprovided that her early training did not brainwash her into deference to man. Wollstonecraft believed that women's freedom should extend to their sexual lives. In her writings, she compared married life for a woman to prostitution. She pursued her own sexual freedom through an affair, and bore an illegitimate child. Later, she fell in love with William Godwin, the father of her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. Tragically, Mary died from complications while delivering her child.
