Read the review of the book about Mary Shelley and her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, Romantic Outlaws, in the New York Times, May 8, 2015.
In 1792 Mary Wollstonecraft published “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” in which she made the case for girls receiving the same education as boys. She illuminates her reasoning by sheding light on the undeniable fact that women raise the children, and an educated mother means smarter children, this benefiting a stronger society. Her claims for women's rights were stated in moral terms as imperative if civilization is to continue. Her ideas were quite popular until aspects of her personal history came out in an autobiography published after her death at 39. This essay continued to influence and become the foundation for all the women's movements that have evolved over the last two hundred years.
