"She is alive and active--we hear her voice and trace her influence even now." --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Still Relevant Today 22 Mar 2002

By pixielizards

Format:Mass Market Paperback

This might be a frightening generalisation, but the majority of people reading this book are probably doing so in the confines of a formal education course. If you're a woman and the following statement is true Mary Wollstonecraft would be delighted. This book is a complex philosophical argument for the emancipation and education of women. The language of the book, as with most late eighteenth century text is wordy and therefore it's going to be slow read, to understand and evaluate Wollstonecraft's arguments. However, the arguments she makes are skilful and still with relevance today.

A must read! 14 May 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

For anyone into philosophy, this is a definate read. A product of the Age of Reason, Mary Wollstonecraft applies reason to why women should be educated equally with men so both may benefit from virtue. Very intriguing even for a man. Read it.

Fiddle! 3 April 2005

By LocalYokel

Format:Paperback

I would expect a reputable publisher like Penguin to make it clear that what they are offering with this "great ideas" collection is *abridged* versions of the books. Get the Dover Thrift edition instead!

Read it.

This book is truly marvellous. Wollstonecraft is a brilliant woman; I can honestly say this is one of the few books I've ever read which is 'life-changing.'

A Pioneering Work

Mary Wollstoncraft is pretty well spot on with her observations of men and women as they were in Regency times. Read more

Well worth it!

This is not an easy read. The writing is often dated, referencing people and events that I'd never heard of but that the author assumes are familiar, the footnotes help some. Read more

Very complicated didn't really understand it

This book is very complicated... and i guess it would be OK for those of you studying this topic in depth, however for those of you looking for a simple book don't bother.
