Résumé

Résumé : "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is a seminal work of feminist literature written by Mary Wollstonecraft and published in 1792. It is considered one of the earliest and most influential texts in the feminist movement and addresses the unequal treatment and education of women in society. Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" continues to be studied and celebrated for its groundbreaking ideas and its role in advancing the cause of gender equality. It remains a powerful and thought-provoking work in the history of feminist literature and philosophy.
Biographie : Wollstonecraft was born on 27 April 1759 in Spitalfields, London. She was the second of the seven children of Elizabeth Dixon and Edward John Wollstonecraft. Although her family had a comfortable income when she was a child, her father gradually squandered it on speculative projects. Consequently, the family became financially unstable and they were frequently forced to move during Wollstonecraft's youth. The family's financial situation eventually became so dire that Wollstonecraft's father compelled her to turn over money that she would have inherited at her maturity. Moreover, he was apparently a violent man who would beat his wife in drunken rages. As a teenager, Wollstonecraft used to lie outside the door of her mother's bedroom to protect her. Wollstonecraft played a similar maternal role for her sisters, Everina and Eliza, throughout her life. In a defining moment in 1784, she persuaded Eliza, who was suffering from what was probably postpartum depression, to leave her husband and infant; Wollstonecraft made all of the arrangements for Eliza to flee, demonstrating her willingness to challenge social norms. The human costs, however, were severe: her sister suffered social condemnation and, because she could not remarry, was doomed to a life of poverty and hard work.
