Price also rejected the traditional Christian ideas of original sin and eternal punishment. As a result of these religious views, some Anglicans acc used Rational Dissenters of being atheists.

MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT (1759-1797) A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects . Boston: Printed by Peter Edes for Thomas and Andrews, 1792. Long before the women's movement or women's suffrage, there was Mary Wollstonecraft's Rights of Woman . Wollstonecraft was a progressive thinker and an outspoken advocate of the equality of the sexes. Like many pioneers struggling against outdated but dearly held conventions, she suffered much harsh criticism and never lived to see her ideals come to fruition. Always independent, Wollstonecraft had started and operated a school, and then worked as a governess before settling down to a literary career. In 1787, she became literary advisor to the publisher John Johnson of London. During this time she also wrote children's stories, a novel and some translations, and in 1792 Johnson published her now famous Vindication of the Rights of Woman Wollstonecraft's tract, written in simple and direct language, is a declaration of the rights of women to equality of education and civil opportunities, from which "they are unjustly denied a share." This stand provoked a bitter outcry, from which she escaped by going to France to observe the Revolution, and where she remained throughout the Reign of Terror. Later, she met and married the political philosopher, William Godwin, but died soon after giving birth to their daughter, Mary, who later married the poet Shelley and became famous as the author of

Mary Wollstonecraft was born into the middle class in 1759. She grew up with a mean-spirited father who beat his wife and squandered his inherited fortune. Wollstonecraft was detirmined to be an independant woman in a society that generally expected women of her class to be homebodies and obedient wives. Because of this, she struggled for years to earn a living at the only two jobs acceptable for single, educated women- governess and teacher- until she became a successful translator and author. In 1792 she developed the logical implications of natural-law philosophy in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman . Breaking with those who had a low opinion of women's intellectual potential, she set high standards: "I wish to persuade women to endeavor to aquire strength, both of mind and body." Wollstonecraft advocated rigorous co-education, and believed that women could manage businesses and enter politics if men would only give them the chance. Her work marked the birth of the modern women's movement for equal rights. Wollstonecraft died in 1797.

7. Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft. Patrice Cucinello. Mary Wollstonecraft and the Woman Question.Mary Wollstonecraft is held as being the first modern feminist. http://www.english.upenn.edu/~esimpson/Teaching/Romantics/patrice.html

Mary Wollstonecraft Patrice Cucinello "Liberty is the mother of virtue, and if women be, by their constitution slaves and not be allowed to the sharp invigorating air of freedom, they must ever languish like exotics and be reckoned beautiful flaws in nature" "As sound politics diffuse liberty mankind, including women will become more wise and virtuous" Mary Wollstonecraft and the Woman Question The Rights of women contained other unconventional beliefs on society's standards of which Marriage was a constant theme. Marriage gave the husband legal ownership of his wife, her property, and their children. To divorce meant to leave everything behind. By being against Marriage Wollstonecraft was far ahead of her time, for in 18th century England a good marriage was the goal of most women. However for Wollstonecraft independence was essential and the only true freedom could be obtained from remaining unmarried. Marriage under law Wollstonecraft argued was nothing more than 'legalized prostitution'. These ideas were highlighted in her fictional tale Maria, where the protagonist is imprisoned in a mental hospital at the hands of her abusive husband. Maria reiterates Wollstonecraft's view on the disabilities that society imposed on women. Many criticize that Wollstonecraft's achievements in the Vindication's of the Rights of Women were widespread in 18th century England. But it is necessary to review the political background of these times. Wollstonecraft was influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, the French and American revolution, and interacted in the intellectual circles that included, Paine, Burke, Rousseau, and Voltaire. It is important to remember that the French Revolution began in 1789, and that for the next 50 years Europe was petrified of a repetition of the upheaval. Revolutionary ideas such as Paine's and Wollstonecraft's were seen as dangers to the foundations of society. Many feared that these unconventional thoughts would spread to other nations across Europe.

Search the Dictionary Notes for Contributors Information Form Contributors Unitarian Universalist Association ... Notable American Unitarians Mary Wollstonecraft Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), a revolutionary advocate of equal rights for women, was an inspiration for both the nineteenth-century and twentieth-century women's movements. Wollstonecraft was not merely a woman's rights advocate. She asserted the innate rights of all people, whom she thought victims of a society that assigned people their roles, comforts, and satisfactions according to the false distinctions of class, age, and gender. Mary endured a difficult childhood, denied the advantages and affection lavished on her older brother. She often had to protect her mother from the drunken rage of her father, the son of a master weaver from London who tried unsucessfully to set himself up as a gentleman farmer. Many other eighteenth-century girls had to endure similar injustices and hardships. It was Mary's genius that allowed her to rise above these severe handicaps and transform her experience into a dream of a reordered society. As a young woman Wollstonecraft supported herself as a lady's companion, seamstress, governess, and schoolteacher. She was largely self-educated. From 1782 until 1785 Wollstonecraft was a congregant at the Unitarian chapel at Newington Green, during which time she was influenced by its minister, Richard Price. Through her friendship with Dr. Price she entered a circle of intellectuals and radicals, including Joseph Priestley, Thomas Paine, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Blake, and William Godwin. Between 1788 and 1792 she was a translator and reviewer for publisher Joseph Johnson. Her work frequently appeared in his periodical

Philosophy Pages F A Q Dictionary ... Locke Mary Wollstonecraft Life and Works Bibliography Internet Sources A self-taught native of London, Mary Wollstonecraft worked as a schoolteacher and headmistress at a school she established at Newington Green with her sister Eliza. The sisters soon became convinced that the young women they tried to teach had already been effectively enslaved by their social training in subordination to men. In Thoughts on the Education of Daughters (1787) Wollstonecraft proposed the deliberate extrapolation of Enlightenment ideals to include education for women, whose rational natures are no less capable of intellectual achievement than are those of men. Following a period of service as a governess to Lord Kingsborough in Ireland, Wollstonecraft spent several years observing political and social developments in France, and wrote History and Moral View of the Origins and Progress of the French Revolution (1793). Her A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790) is a spirited defense of the ideals of the Revolution against the conservative objections of Burke .
