A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft's
passionate work supporting women's rights, is considered to be
among the very first examples of feminist philosophy. When it
appeared in 1792, Wollstonecraft's treatise sets out a range of
what were at the time radical beliefs; she thought all women should
have a formal education, so that they may raise their children to
be keener in mind as well as prove able conversationalists with
their husbands. Wollestonecraft by no means unreservedly supports
marriage: she states that women should not be thought of merely as
items to be bandied about and wed, but as human beings capable of
great intellect. Wollstonecraft also lambastes the prevailing
social picture of women; that they have a number of fixed, narrow
and often domestic duties. She also singles out how women are
expected to behave, criticizing in particular the notion that the
highest aspiration of a woman is to be a sentimental heroine in a
popular romance novel.
