HER OWN WOMAN: THE LIFE OF MARY WOLLSTONECROFT pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
Drawing on. a number ofpreviously
unused sources, Her Own Woman
is Diane Jacob s definitive
biography of the:first great
feminist. Mary WollstoneCraft.
It is the story, of an extraordinary
woman, one who was entirely self-taught, and who overcame the
disadvantages that she inherited:
poverty, the frivolous education
with.which girls were provided and
the narrow career choices to which
they were limited.
It was the groundbreaking feminist document, A Vindication
oFthe Rights of Women, which made Mary Wollstonecrafl s name.
It brought her fame throughOut EurOpe, and allowed her to live as
fully as a man would, socializing with the great painters,- poets and
revolutionaries of her era. She travelled to Paris during the French
Revolution and openly bore the child of an American who deserted her.
She found domestic peace with the philosopher William Godwin but
died giving birth to their daughter Mary - who would grow up to write
Frankenstein and carry on her mother s bold ideas.
Her Own Woman is distinguished by several new first sources, among
which are Joseph Johnson s letters, and rare documents referring to
Wollstonecraft s lover, Gilbert Imlay. The result is the most comprehensive
picture yet of this inspirational woman.
