Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is one of the most important documents in the history of women's rights. The author, herself lived an often-troubled personal life, and her early death of childbed fever cut short her evolving ideas. Her second daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin Shelley, was Percy Shelley's second wife and author of the book, Frankenstein.
