Abstract
Wollstonecraft’s discussion of the oppression of women by men, and of the poor by the rich offers a number of insights into contemporary problems in global justice. Starting form Amartya Sen’s acknowledgment of Wollstonecraft’s influence on his own work, I will look at how Wollstonecraft’s works may be used to understand a number of problems in the Sen/Nussbaum capability/ies approach, with particular focus on the theory of adaptive preferences and the role played by education in redressing inequality.
