Mary Wollstonecraft 1759-1797 was an eighteenthcentury British writer, philosopher, and feminist. During her brief career, she wrote novels, treatises, a travel narrative, a history of the French Revolution, a conduct book, and a childrens book. Wollstonecraft is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman 1792 , in which she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack education. She suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason. The majority of her early productions centre around the topic of education; she assembled an anthology of literary extracts 'for the improvement of young women' entitled The Female Reader. Her other works include Thoughts on the Education of Daughters 1787 , Mary: A Fiction 1788 , Original Stories from Real Life 1791 , Letters on Sweden, Norway, and Denmark 1796 , Maria; or, The Wrongs of Woman 1798 , and Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman 1798 .
