This book argues that the female philosopher, a literary figure
brought into existence by Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of
the Rights of Woman, embodied the transformations of feminist
thought during the transition from the Enlightenment to the
Romantic period. By imagining a series of alternate lives and
afterlives for the female philosopher, women authors of the early
Romantic period used the resources of the novel to evaluate
Wollstonecraft's ideas and legacy. This book examines how these
writers' opinions converged on such issues as progress, education,
and ungendered virtues, and how they diverged on a fundamental
question connected to Wollstonecraft's life and feminist thought:
whether the enlightened, intellectual woman should live according
to her own principles, or sacrifice moral autonomy in the interest
of pragmatic accommodation to societal expectations.
