Godwin (married name) 27th April 1759 - 10th September 1797 Although I'm not aware of one, Mary Wollstonecraft's life story seems to lend itself naturally to some intelligent epic film. Mary Wollstonecraft was born in London in 1759. Her father progressively wasted away his sizeable inheritance on failed farming schemes. Mary left home as soon as she could, and with her sister Eliza set up a school at Newington Green in London in 1783. While running the school, Wollstonecraft made friends with a local radical priest called Richard Price. This initiated her into a circle of liberal and radical free thinkers which influenced her and which she influenced greatly. She wrote a book called 'Thoughts On The Education Of Daughters', possibly at the behest of publisher Joseph Johnson. In any case, Johnson published her books and employed her to write for him in his new paper, the 'Analytical Review', from 1788 onwards. These liberal radicals were most impressed, at least in its ideals, by the French Revolution of 1789. Wollstonecraft's friend Price gave a sermon in praise of it, but a chap called

Works Bio-Bibliographical Note Acknowledgements Usage Mary Wollstonecraft's Works A Vindication of the Rights of Woman A Bio-bibliographical note about Mary Wollstonecraft "Reviled in her day as a 'hyena in petticoats', Mary Wollstonecraft is now recognized as one of the mothers of British and American feminism. In her most famous work, Vindication of the Rights of Woman , which was published in 1792 in the immediate aftermath of the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft applies radical principles of liberty and equality to sexual politics. Rights of Woman is a devastating critique of the 'false system of education' which she argues forced the middle-class women of her time to live within a stifling ideal of femininity: 'Taught from infancy that beauty is women's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage seeks only to adore its prison'. Instead, Wollenstonecraft dares to address women as 'rational creatures', and she urges them to aspire to a wider human ideal which combines feeling with reason and the right to independence. "Wollstonecraft's difficult, brave and tragically short life was itself a continual quest for financial, intellectual and sexual independence. Determined to make her own living, she initially endured the orthodox female occupations of paid companion and governess, but by the time she published

Mary Wollstonecraft, Mary Shelley, and Other Contemporaries of Jane Austen A Male Voices Web Page April 21, 1998 Revised : September 1, 2001 The word "feminist" is, I think, a twentieth century invention, but all of the basic ideas and beliefs of that point of view are much older. For example, feminist ideas are found expressed in all the writings of the French revolutionists. Also, the main subject of this first page, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), evolved into a "feminist" in the full, modern meaning of the word. She was also what is today called "liberated", both politically and sexually. You can read an account of those matters in Claire Tomalin's wonderfully detailed biography of Wollstonecraft [ Tomalin-MW The life and works of Mary Wollstonecraft's daughter, Mary Shelley, are also discussed in this first page. Special emphasis is placed on two of Shelley's novels and a short story. The interesting point is that Mary Shelley seemed to rebel, eventually, against her parents' and husband's radical views. That seems most apparent in her writings. I like both of the Marys, but my deepest respect is paid to Shelley and not just because of her good sense - Shelley was a thinker worthy of our consideration regardless of an individual reader's political views. On subsequent pages, I discuss

She was an early proponent of educational equality between men and women, and her Vindication of the Rights of Women (1792) was the first great feminist document. In Paris, where she lived with an American, Gilbert Imlay, during much of the French Revolution, she was close to many of the Revolution's leading political figures. After the birth (1794) of a daughter, Fanny, Imlay deserted her, and in 1797 she married William Godwin . She died within days of giving birth to another daughter, Mary, who later became the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley. See W. Godwin, Memoirs of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin (1798); biographies by E.

Wollstonecraft, Mary writer, educationalist england 27 Apr 1759, London - 10 Sep 1797, London Grave location: Bournemouth, Dorset: St. Peter's Churchyard In het youth Mary Wollstonecraft lived at Epping and at Beverley, Yorkshire, where she met Jane Arden, with whom she developed a passionate friendship. The family moved to London, Wales and once more London. In 1784 she set up a school at Newington Green together with her sister Eliza. After the school closed in 1786 she worked as a governess for the Kingsborough family at at Mitchelstown, Ireland. After her dismissal in 1787 publisher Joseph Johnson gave her work as a translator and from then on she lived from her pen and worked mostly for him. In France she witnessed the French Revolution in 1789 and she developed a feministic way of thinking. In 1792 she published her "A Vindication to the Rights of Woman" (In 1791 Thomas Paine had published his "Rights of Man"). She had a child, Fanny, by the American Gilbert Imlay. In May 1795 she tried to kill herself, possibly because she had discovered that Imlay had an affair with another woman. In June 1795 she travelled to Scandinavia, where she stayed for a few months. Back in London she tried to take her life again by jumping into the Thames. She was rescued by an unknown after she had lost conciousness. Mary had first met the filosopher William Godwin in 1791 at Johnson's and in tey met 1796 again at Mary Hays'. Her relationship with Imlay had ended by now and she visited Godwin alone on 14 April 1796. In August they became lovers and after she became pregnant Godwin married her, allthough he had been opposed to marriage all his life. She gave birth to their daughter Mary (of later Frankenstein fame), but the mother died ten days later of an infection caused by the unhygienic pratices that were common during childbirth in those days.
