Disruptors: Mary Wollstonecraft

  • Résumé

  • Mary Wollstonecraft argued with passion and moral certainty in her great work, A Vindication of the Rights of Women. Naomi Alderman meets the first modern woman, who lived the ideas she espoused – travelling to revolutionary France, living unmarried to her lover, arguing, debating, persuading and showing, with the quality of her arguments, the justice of her own cause. She died tragically young, giving birth to her daughter Mary, known now as Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein.

    Special thanks to Dr Corin Throsby, who teaches English at the University of Cambridge.

    Produced by BBC Studios Audio in partnership with The Open University.
