A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Written in 1792, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is one of the earliest works on "the woman question " and influenced the earliest feminists in England and America in the 19th century, primarily in their distancing themselves from the work due to the controversial life of its author.
Some major themes of this work are education for girls, the debased position of women in society, the necessary equality of men and women, and the right of women to work.
