Sinossi
"A seguito di lunghe riflessioni sulla storia e dopo aver preso atto con diligenza della realtà che ci circonda, mi sono ritrovata triste e indignata. Infatti, mio malgrado, ho dovuto ammettere che le differenze tra gli esseri umani non sono state stabilite dalla natura, ma dalla stessa civiltà. Dopo aver letto molti libri di pedagogia, ho osservato il comportamento dei genitori e del sistema scolastico. Che cosa ho dedotto da tutto ciò? Mi sono convinta che l'istruzione inadeguata sia la causa primaria delle carenze di cui mi rammarico...". Nel 1792 Mary Wollstonecraft sconvolse la comunità britannica con un'opera sorprendente e all'avanguardia. Sui diritti delle donne esamina con occhio oggettivo e critico la posizione della donna nella società, portando alla luce le cause, le conseguenze e le ingiustizie di dogmi e pregiudizi considerati corretti solo per abitudine o convenienza, puntando il dito contro le sue stesse sorelle che accettano la loro sorte di buon grado, anziché ribellarsi. Un prezioso documento storico, una tra le prime opere che imposero solide fondamenta alla lotta per i diritti delle donne.

This work of literature is particularly significant because of when it was written. Published in 1792, it is often referenced as being the founding text or manifesto of Western feminism. The author was writing in reaction to contemporary Enlightenment philosophers who had extolled the use of reason
