Contested
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA response to men who insisted women’s education should stop short of anything useful, arguing that reason has no gender and ignorance is not a virtue in either. Wollstonecraft wrote it in a fury, in a matter of weeks, and it still reads like an argument that has not finished being had. I keep it near the front, on the theory that visitors ought to trip over it early.
