"Women are rendered feeble and wretched by a variety of causes, some of which are natural, but more are artificial."
"The desire of appearing beautiful is a very natural one, and should be encouraged, though it cannot be satisfied by art."
"The divine right of husbands, like the divine right of kings, may, it is to be hoped, in this enlightened age, be contested without danger."
"I have a soul that is too noble to be enslaved."
"The woman who has not been taught to respect herself, will not respect others."
English writer and proto-feminist philosopher whose A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) is the founding text of modern feminist theory. Closely associated with Thomas Paine (Rights of Man co-conspirator and revolutionary contemporary) and William Godwin (her husband and philosopher of anarchism). For an intellectual contrast, see Edmund Burke, Anglo-Irish conservative and parliamentarian — Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) was the explicit target of Wollstonecraft's first book — A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), written in the weeks after Burke's appeared. She extended the argument to women in her second Vindication two years later. Burke's tradition-and-prescription conservatism is the worldview Wollstonecraft's career was structured against.
