Her book is both a sustained argument for emancipation and an attack on a social and an economic system. As Miriam Brody points out in her introduction, subsequent feminists tended to lose sight of her radical objectives. For Mary Wollstonecraft all aspects of women's existence were interrelated, and any effective reform depended on the redistribution of political and economic power. Walpole once called her 'a hyena in petticoats', but it is a tribute to her forceful insight that modern feminists are finally returning to the arguments so passionately expressed in this remarkable book."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Women $x Social and moral questions $v Early works to 1800. 650 0 $a Women's rights $v Early works to 1800. 650 07 $a Gleichberechtigung. $2 swd 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wollstonecraft, Mary, 1759-1797. $t Vindication of the rights of woman. $b Rev. ed. $d London ; New York : Penguin Books, 2004 $w (OCoLC)607747464 830 0 $a Penguin classics. 941 $a 3 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710020535.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010021457.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150922030512.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=80D7ED38376C11E1999191C06AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
