VINDICATION OF THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN (GILDED POCKET) (HB)

A powerful argument for gender equality from the world's first feminist. Mary Wollstonecraft demonstrated that it was necessary for women to be educated in the same manner as men for the benefit of all society. She emphasised the capability of women for rational thought and their ability to pursue any field they might choose. Rather than relying on beauty, women should obtain control over their own lives through education and honesty. Features unabridged text, a facsimile of Wollstonecraft's signature on the title page, silvered page edges and beautifully designed endpapers.
