À propos de cet audio
Mary Wollstonecraft, often described as the first major feminist, is remembered principally as the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), and there has been a tendency to view her most famous work in isolation. Yet Wollstonecraft's pronouncements about women grew out of her reflections about men, and her views on the female sex constituted an integral part of a wider moral and political critique of her times which she first fully formulated in A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790).
Written as a reply to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790), this is an important text in its own right as well as a necessary tool for understanding Wollstonecraft's later work. This edition brings the two texts together and also includes Hints, the notes which Wollstonecraft made towards a second, never completed, volume of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

background information required
Wollstonecraft had a compelling Style, but her texts are Laird with references that a modern reader might not get, consequently some of the arguments and examples went over my head. her texts are both modern and regressive. she defends an aristocratic ideal of virtue - which is heavily influenced by the Christian worldview, while advocating for an egalitarian social structure.
her ideal is of a society Guided by reason the main thrust of her argument is that virtue can only be cultivated alongside understanding. she argues that the education of women has had a corrupting influence on their character, because they have been denied the opportunity to gain understanding. although much of the text is taken up with criticism a woman's character, Wollstonecraft is always careful to link these flaws and character with the perversion of women's education.
