<< Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 –1797) was undeniably one
of the most outstanding figures of her time. Claiming that “the being cannot be
termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority, but that of reason”, she
embodies in many ways the ideals of the Enlightenment. Courageous, fiercely
intelligent and articulate, she effectively challenged the ideas of many of the
famous minds around her, including Edmund Burke. Defender of the French
Revolution, pioneer for the rights of women and mother to Mary Shelley, her
influence on our culture can hardly be overestimated. >>
