A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft
With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects
This influential work from the late 18th century argues passionately for the education and societal recognition of women. The author asserts that women are not naturally inferior to men, but appear to be only because they lack education. She suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagines a social order founded on reason. The book is considered one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy.
The 774th greatest book of all time
