Publisher Description
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a treatise on overcoming the ways in which women in her time are oppressed and denied their potential in society, with concomitant problems for their households and society as a whole. The dedication is to Charles M. Talleyrand-Périgord, the late bishop of Autun whose views on female education were distasteful to Wollstonecraft. The introduction sets out her view that neglect of girls’ education is largely to blame for the condition of adult women.

Reflecting the slow progress in changing attitudes particular of the majority of males. She covers a wide range of issues that provide a thorough agenda for women’s rights. Well worth a read.
