A Vindication of the Rights of Men Kindle Edition

by Mary Wollstonecraft (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 15 ratings
See all formats and editions
Less known than Mary Wollstonecraft's later work, A Vindication of the Rights of Men was her first work as a feminist philosopher and commentator. Compared to A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, this work is more focused on the specific political environment of the time. However, it covers many of the same themes, including the importance of liberty and equality.

When it was initially published anonymously, it was both successful and and influential. Later, when Wollstonecraft revealed herself as the author, critics focused on her identity as a woman, rather than the political ideals, leading to her rejection by contemporary philosophers.

Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), author and pioneering feminist, answers Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France in this, her first stirring political pamphlet. In A Vindication on the Rights of Men (1790), Wollstonecraft refutes Burke's assertions that human liberties are an "entailed inheritance", that the alliance between church and State is necessary for civil order, and that civil authority should be restricted to men "of permanent property". Rather, liberties are rights which all human beings "inherit at their birth, as rational creatures".

This is one of those books that I have been meaning to read for absolutely ages - and now I have. It seems almost unbelievable - but it is true - that Mary Woolstonecraft had the intelligence, creativity and courage to see her world as it was and to find her own way in it.

If you need the Vindication of the Rights of Men for Academic purposes, then do not buy this copy. It is poorly formatted and it is impossible to sufficiently reference it
