Vindication

Vindication | Lyndall Gordon

6 posts | 4 read | 9 to read

The founder of modern feminism, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) was the most famous woman of her era. A brilliant, unconventional rebel vilified for her strikingly modern notions of education, family, work, and personal relationships, she nevertheless strongly influenced political philosophy in Europe and a newborn America. Now acclaimed biographer Lyndall Gordon mounts a spirited defense of this courageous woman whose reputation has suffered over the years by painting a full and vibrant portrait of an extraordinary historical figure who was generations ahead of her time.

Suggested reading for Women's History Month. I read this some time ago but I clearly enjoyed it because I tabbed the hell out of it! #InternationalWomensDay #womenshistorymonth

What Melville did for whales Gordon does for Mary Wollstonecraft. I dont know if Wollstonecraft's world really needed this much filling in, but Gordon wants us to know this woman by her limits as much as her successes. #frankensteinsnana

blurb

Vindication | Lyndall Gordon

"Burgh had held that a girl should know just enough arithmetic to do household accounts, and just enough geography to converse with her husband and his friends." Every word in this is pure comedy, I dont even know where to start.
