Mary Wollstonecraft's work was received with a mixture of admiration and outrage - Walpole called her 'a hyena in petticoats' - yet it established her as the mother of modern feminism.
Mary Wollstonecraft (27 April 1759 - 10 September 1797) was an eighteenth-century British writer, philosopher, and feminist. During her brief career, she wrote novels, treatises, a travel narrative, a history of the French Revolution, a conduct book, and a children's book. Wollstonecraft is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), in which she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack education. She suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason.

- Una reivindicación de los derechos de la mujer
- Escribiendo en una época en la que el llamado a los derechos del hombre había traído la revolución a Estados Unidos y Francia, Mary Wollstonecraft produjo su propia declaración de independencia femenina en 1792.
- Apasionada y directa, Vindicación de los derechos de la mujer ataca la visión predominante de una feminidad dócil y decorativa y, en cambio, establece los principios de la emancipación: una educación igualitaria para niñas y niños, el fin de la prejuicios y que las mujeres se definan por su profesión, no por su pareja.
