Mary Wollstonecraft
À propos de cet audio
This story is, in essence, the novelization of Wollstonecraft's ultimate work, Vindication of the Rights of Women. It follows a girl who grows up in a moderately wealthy English family in 18th century, trying to find love and individuality in a time when such concepts are incomprehensible to society. Mary, the main character, follows life and love through a turbulent series of ups and downs while trying to remain true to herself.
Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was a British feminist, writer, and philosopher. She is best known for her treatise A Vindication for the Rights of Women which puts forth that women are not naturally inferior to men and it is their lack of education that leads them to appear so.

Wollstonecraft’s Feminist Warm-Up
This novella, written way back in 1788, gives us a peek at the early thinking of one of feminism’s original trailblazers. It follows a young woman who doesn’t quite fit the mould; she’s independent, thoughtful, and not afraid to question the roles society expects her to play.
Wollstonecraft was writing at a time when women had almost no rights, and you can really feel both her frustration and hope come through in Mary’s character. It’s especially interesting to read knowing that just a few years later, she’d go on to write A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, where she fully spells out her argument for women’s education and equality.
If you look at Mary: A Fiction through a historical lens, rather than judging it strictly as a piece of fiction (she’s no Jane Austen, let’s be honest), it feels like a warm-up to A Vindication. It’s more emotional and personal, especially with the main character sharing the author’s name, but it’s clearly coming from the same place and fighting the same fight.
