A Vindication of the Rights of Men; A Vindication of the Rights of Woman; An Historical and Moral View of the French Revolution (Oxford World's Classics)

Anybody concerned with women's fight for equality should read this book. Brilliant!

As described - no problems

Perfect item, thououghly matching description. No delays in arriving date. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Satisfied both of article and of service.

Read both Vindications so far and a little of Burke's major work on aesthetics (not in this book), still to read the last segmentVindication of the Rights of Men is a scathing polemic directed at Edmund Burke. Some parts were more a personal attack than a rebuttal of his arguments. Overall didn't feel as polished as her Vindication of the Rights of Women- likely due to the way it was published as per the introduction (which is clearly written and useful)Vindication of the Rights of Women was an easier read with a clearly presented argument. She directly rebukes the works of several other writers and also some more subtle mentions of Burke (though this piece doesn't concentrate on him, I feel like she considered him dealt with and just an occasional lash required to put him back in his box) Due to the age of the writing, it's obviously not in a particularly modern style so having a little contextual knowledge is very useful before reading.Worth a read for anyone looking to learn more about the views of people at the time of the French Revolution and the beginning of feminism (though it wasn't called that then)Only knocked down one point because the annotations by the author of the intro are at the back of the book. I prefer them to be as footnotes rather than flicking back and forth which disrupts reading (and means you have to hold the book strangely)

Essential for study

Incredible book

Sorry,. this is still to be read.But i have now my own library!

I wish I had read this at a younger age. Women are again second class citizens. Every woman needs to read this book. It should be in every school library but extremists would ban it.

Read parts of this for a philosophy class. I had not heard of Mary Wollstonecraft before I took that class and I am ashamed of that fact. She was a wonderful writer and activist in her time. Much of her philosophy applies so well today. A welcome addition to any class studying women's rights in a current or historical context.

Woolstonecraft gave me a new perspective to work with.

Balanced approach to box sexes; great read.

Eloquently argued and beautifully written. I can't recommend it enough.
