Abstract

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792) by Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) is a treatise written between the storming of the Bastille (July 14, 1789) and before the “Terror” (September 5, 1793–July 27, 1794) in response to trends in social‐contract theory. Although developments in the French Revolution sparked some of the texts that Vindication is in conversation with, the larger context includes Anglo‐Liberal and Franco‐Republican theories of citizenship, the nation state, public versus private education, property rights, religious freedom, morality, rationality, and class and sexual difference.
