(compare prices)"Mary Wollstonecraft" by Miriam Brody in: Feminist Theorists: Three Centuries of Key Women Thinkers. Dale Spender, editor. Trade Paperback, Pantheon Books, January 1984.
This essay explains how Mary Wollstonecraft's lifestyle was used after her death to disparage women's rights, and resulted in her near-disappearance from intellectual history. The other essays are also excellent studies in the history of women's intellectual thought, and how such history has been forgotten and neglected.
