A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
An argument about education, independence and the conditions required for moral agency. Read the Introduction and Chapter 2 together to follow the criticism of imposed weakness and obedience. Its historical religious and social assumptions need scrutiny. Related reading does not authenticate shortened or modernised supplied excerpts.
