A proposito di questo titolo
 Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is celebrated for her groundbreaking work, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, where she boldly asserted that women are not inherently inferior to men; rather, they appear so due to the lack of education. She advocated for the treatment of both men and women as rational beings, envisioning a society built on reason and equality. Today, Wollstonecraft is recognized as a pivotal figure in feminist philosophy, with her early calls for women’s equality and critiques of conventional femininity laying the groundwork for the feminist political movement that followed. Her philosophical insights and personal experiences continue to inspire feminist scholars and activists alike. This book is featured as one of the 12 Books That Changed the World by Melvyn Bragg.

    Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman-Mary Wollstonecraft
    Nov 7 2026
    Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft.

    Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished novelistic sequel to her revolutionary political treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. It was published posthumously in 1798 by her husband, William Godwin. Maria revolves around the story of a woman imprisoned in an insane asylum by her husband, and focuses on the societal rather than the individual "wrongs of woman". Publicised at the same time as Wollstonecraft's memoirs, both were considered scandalous. Not until the 20th century was the novel considered an important historical and feminist work.
