Liberal Thinkers
A short biography from the site of Liberal International.
http://www.liberal-international.org/library/wollstonecraft.html

Extractions: *1759 London - 1797 Somerstown) When the French Revolution started, everybody was talking about the Rights of Man (such was the title of Thomas Paines influential pamphlet from 1791) in a very literal sense, which meant that women were usually not even mentioned in that context. Its true, there always had been voices in favour of womens rights, but the book that really triggered off a modern liberal feminist movement was A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which was published in 1792. The author was Mary Wollstonecraft, who had already been member of several radical political circles before. She thought that women were trapped into an intricate system of oppression and that only education and enlightenment could help them out of it. Therefore she demanded full civil and political rights for women: Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government, she said. Her general outlook was generally that of liberal individualism. Equal rights and equality before the law were her political creed. One can doubt, whether today she would be in sympathy with some modern brands of feminism that focus on affirmative action and quotas. Later in her life she married the individualist anarchist author William Godwin, although both had previously denounced marriage as an oppressive institution. Their daughter Mary later married the poet Shelley and became famous as the author of Frankenstein.

Squashed Wollstonecraft - A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women
The condensed edition of mary wollstonecraft's 'Vindication of the Rights of Woman' with study notes and glossary
http://www.btinternet.com/~glynhughes/squashed/wollstonecraft.htm

Extractions: At the heart of Mary Wollstonecraft's Vindication of the Rights of Women, are the twin virtues of freedom of thought and devotion to family. Few people have so well combined the two as Mary herself, the presiding matriarch of one of the most remarkable families of free-thinkers the West has ever seen. Mary Wollstonecraft may be the "mother of feminism", yet, for all that she was called a "hyena in petticoats", by today's standards she seems somewhat prudish and more than modest in her aims. She does not lay any claim to equal opportunity for women, but rather allows for the sort of variation in the roles of the sexes which her sucessors might now call 'difference feminism'

mary (part I) wollstonecraft (17591797), Upon the death of Mrs. wollstonecraft, mary bid final adieu to the roof of her father.
http://www.malaspina.com/site/person_1202.asp

Extractions: MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT was born on the 27th of April 1759. Her father's name was Edward John, and the name of her mother Elizabeth, of the family of Dixons of Ballyshannon in the kingdom of Ireland: her paternal grandfather was a respectable manufacturer in Spitalfields, and is supposed to have left to his son a property of about 10,000l. Three of her brothers and two sisters are still living; their names, Edward, James, Charles, Eliza, and Everina. Of these, Edward only was older than herself; he resides in London. James is in Paris, and Charles in or near Philadelphia in America. Her sisters have for some years been engaged in the office of governesses in private families, and are both at present in Ireland. I am doubtful whether the father of Mary was bred to any profession; but, about the time of her birth, he resorted, rather perhaps as an amusement than a business, to the occupation of farming. He was of a very active, and somewhat versatile disposition, and so frequently changed his abode, as to throw some ambiguity upon the place of her birth. She told me, that the doubt in her mind in that respect, lay between London, and a farm upon Epping Forest, which was the principal scene of the first five years of her life.
Mary Wollstonecraft On Education
mary wollstonecraft has long been appreciated as a major political thinker but she also made important contributions to educational theory and practice.

Her father uprooted the family on a number of occasions and during her formative years Mary Wollstonecraft was to find herself in Epping, Barking, Beverley in Yorkshire, back to East London in Hoxton and then out again to Wales. At the age of 18, having received a poor education, she left home and never went back. She became a companion to a widow in Bath for a short period, then moved back to London (first to Fulham and then to Hackney). In 1784, at the age of 24 she opened up her own school for girls at Newington Green. This did not last long and she finally became a governess to the children of an aristocratic family on their estate in Ireland. This, in turn, was another short appointment and in 1787, Mary Wollstonecraft finally came back to London and settled in George Street just south of Blackfriars Bridge. Five minutes walk away was St. Pauls' Churchyard which, at the time, was the centre of the publishing trade. She was given work by Joseph Johnson, a radical and progressive publisher and spent most of her waking hours in his shop, writing and translating, as well as eating her meals and meeting a whole range of radical intellectuals and progressive thinkers. Gradually, Mary became part of a circle of friends who were constantly discussing the political affairs of the day.

Biografía - Wollstonecraft, Mary
wollstonecraft, mary Nacionalidad Gran Bretaña Londres 1759 - 1797. Vivió en un duro ambiente familiar
http://www.artehistoria.com/historia/personajes/6449.htm

Extractions: Vivió en un duro ambiente familiar dominado por el déspota padre, John Edward Wollstonecraft, que maltrataba a la madre y lapidó su fortuna familiar intentando establecer diversas granjas por diferentes lugares de Inglaterra hasta la muerte de la madre, Elizabeth Dixon, en 1780. A los 19 años abandona el hogar para vivir por sus propios medios. En 1783 ayuda a su hermana Eliza a escapar de su marido, Meredith Bishop, que la maltrataba, consiguiendo la separación legal. Las dos hermanas establecerán una escuela en Newington Green, experiencia que Mary recogió en su libro " Reflexiones sobre la educación de las hijas ". Como institutriz de la familia de Lord Kingsborough vivió hasta 1787 en Irlanda, estableciéndose ese año en Londres para iniciar su carrera literaria. Rápidamente entra en contacto con los círculos radicales de Londres y empieza sus escritos más incendiarios. Trabaja como ayudante del editor Joseph Johnson y contribuye con sus artículos y comentarios a la liberación femenina . En 1790 escribe la "Vindicación de los derechos del hombre" como respuesta a las "Reflexiones sobre la Revolución Francesa" de Edmund Burke. Dos años después publica su obra más controvertida: "Vindicación de los Derechos de la Mujer" donde aboga por la igualdad de sexos y recoge las doctrinas que servirán como base del movimiento feminista. Las críticas fueron inminentes al igual que el importante número de adhesiones. En 1792 se desplaza a París donde toma contacto con la Convención de Robespierre, criticando duramente la imperante violencia en el momento. Dos años después se casa en Le Havre con el capitán Gilbert Imlay, comerciante y escritor. Nacerá una hija llamada Fanny pero el capitán las abandona al año siguiente y Mary intenta suicidarse. Se recupera eventualmente y se retira a vivir con William Godwin, contrayendo de nuevo matrimonio al quedarse embarazada, naciendo una niña de nombre

http://www.press.jhu.edu/books/hopkins_guide_to_literary_theory/mary_wollstonecr

Extractions: Feminist, radical, social theorist, educator, journalist, travel writer, and novelist, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-97) was born in London. Her work and her life, her theory and her practice, were all turbulent and experimental. After a middle-class childhood fraught with poverty, family illness, and domestic violence, her early career evinced a bold independence of mind and action. She started a school for girls at Newington Green, where she came to know the radical, Dissenting minister Richard Price and a community of reformers and intellectuals. Always passionate in her attachments, Wollstonecraft sailed to Lisbon in 1785 to attend her beloved friend Fanny Blood, who died in childbirth. On returning in 1786, she wrote Thoughts on the Education of Daughters, which advocates a wide range of occupations for women and the necessity of quality education as preparation for motherhood. Afterwards, her brief stint as governess with the aristocratic and scandal-ridden Kingsborough family in Ireland bred in her a lifelong contempt for aristocracy, made palpable in both her novels: Mary, a Fiction

Extractions: The Wrongs of Woman by MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT After the edition of 1798 CONTENTS Preface by William S. Godwin Author's Preface Maria Chapters: PREFACE T HE PUBLIC are here presented with the last literary attempt of an author, whose fame has been uncommonly extensive, and whose talents have probably been most admired, by the persons by whom talents are estimated with the greatest accuracy and discrimination. There are few, to whom her writings could in any case have given pleasure, that would have wished that this fragment should have been suppressed, because it is a fragment. There is a sentiment, very dear to minds of taste and imagination, that finds a melancholy delight in contemplating these unfinished productions of genius, these sketches of what, if they had been filled up in a manner adequate to the writer's conception, would perhaps have given a new impulse to the manners of a world. * A more copious extract of this letter is subjoined to the author's preface.
