Mary Wollstonecraft was an eighteenth-century British writer, philosopher, and advocate of women´s rights. She wrote novels and treatises but her most important work was A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in which she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack education. For her, education held the key to achieving a sense of self-respect and anew self-image that would enable women to put their capacities to good use.
It took more than a century before society began to put her views into effect.
